DE40 (D1 chart)

The DAX has tested the 50- and 100-session exponential moving averages (orange and black colors on the chart) several times since November 2023. Currently, the stock has settled below the EMA100, but by the long lower shadows of the candles it is clear that the market is trying to 'pick' the decline. The last two sessions have brought positive buying volume, but it is still not equivalent to the previous two, indicating net selling.

Analysts at Deutsche Bank raised their recommendation for Rheinmetall to 'Buy' and set a target price, at €700 per share, which would imply about 15% upside from current levels. The German conglomerate is a major beneficiary of rising armaments and munitions spending in Europe.

Porsche shares are testing the lower range of the declining price channel today and are losing nearly 55% from historical highs. Bloomberg indicated that Volskwagen may be considering closing and selling the Osnabrück plant, where Porsche Boxter and Cayman models are assembled.
