Among large German companies, a 1.5% gain stands out virtually exclusively for Rheinmetall (RHM.DE).
DE40 (D1 interval)
DAX futures are losing about 0.3% today, with key support running at 18900 and 19000 points. Bulls are struggling to rise above the EMA50 (orange line), which could potentially herald the end of the correction. The index has recently defended 19100 points (23.6 Fibo retracement of the last upward impulse), and pressure to retest these levels could indicate a higher probability of launching a larger downward impulse.
