The DE30 broke above resistance, at 16050 points confirming the upward sentiment. The stock has been trading in a steep upward channel since the end of October, and a breakthrough of the mentioned resistance at 16050 points may open the way even towards historical maxima in the 16550 points area. Short-term resistance, on the other hand, is the level tested today at 16200 points, where the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement is located. Source: xStation 5
News:
Shares of Aroundtown (AT1.DE) are down more than 5% in today's session. Analysts commenting on the company's published results said that deleveraging remains a major concern for the German real estate company. Baader analysts forecast a further decline in funds from operations in fiscal 24/25, as rising rents do not offset potentially higher perpetual bond costs.
Due to the devaluation of its real estate portfolio, the net loss was just under €1.4 billion (a year ago it was a profit of €578 million). Like many of its competitors, the Group is struggling with high interest rates.
