Today, the DAX is losing its bullish momentum, which managed to push the contract above the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve on the chart) and the 100-day exponential moving average (purple curve), which, from a technical perspective, were significant barriers indicating a short-term downward trend on the instrument. -day exponential moving average (purple curve), which, from a technical perspective, were significant barriers indicating a short-term downward trend in the instrument.

Company news published today:
Gerresheimer (GXI.DE) shares fell nearly 10% yesterday following the publication of a report by Morpheus Research, which announced a short position in the company. The report accuses the company of problems with a key CagriSema contract, undisclosed issues with the acquisition of Bormioli, and aggressive accounting practices supporting poor financial results. Gerresheimer has announced its full cooperation with BaFin and commissioned an external legal analysis to “fully and transparently clarify the matter”. The company’s new management declares that it will take “the necessary steps” to regain investor confidence and continues with its plans to sell the moulded glass division. Despite an initial slump, the share price limited its losses to around 1.8%, but the company’s shares are down 66% since the beginning of the year. Today, the shares are rebounding by 0.63%.

The industry remains structurally weak due to declining market share, especially in Asia, growing competition from China and customs costs. Earnings forecasts have stabilised, but no clear improvement is yet in sight — Barclays believes that the potential turning point in earnings momentum has already been factored into share prices.

One positive factor is the possible easing of regulatory pressure — Bank of America assumes that the ban on the sale of combustion engine cars may be postponed by at least five years, which supports companies such as BMW, Renault, Volkswagen and Ferrari.
