Germany's benchmark DE40 is trading nearly 0.52% higher during Tuesday's session. The index is currently trading above the zone of key barriers set by the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve on the chart). An upward breakout could theoretically open the way to test the zone of local peaks near 18930 points in the medium term. The most important support level all along remains the area defined by the 100-day EMA (purple curve on the chart). Source: xStation
News:

- Operating return on sales in the range of 14% to 15%, previously forecast 15% to 17%, analysts forecast 15.8%
SAP (SAP.DE) shares are up as much as 7% today after the German software maker reported a 28% increase in its current cloud order book. The company's reiteration of cash flow guidance - despite higher cash outlays required due to ongoing restructuring - is seen as another positive.
Fresenius (FRE.DE) shares are gaining nearly 4% after Morgan Stanley raised its recommendation on the company's stock and listed it in its list of top investment ideas for the sector. Analysts communicated that the continued modernization of the portfolio supports the strengthening of the core business, which in turn should lead to an improvement in future operating results Free cash flow, return on capital employed and leverage - everything is “moving in the right direction,” - Morgan Stanley analysts concluded.
