BMW, an automobile group, said it still expects group profit before tax "to be significantly lower than in 2019", while lowering automotive segment EBIT margin to 0% - 3% from 2% - 4% previously. The company added: "The decisive factor for the adjustment is that the measures to contain the corona virus pandemic are lasting longer in several markets and are thus leading to a broader negative impact than was foreseeable in mid-March. It is therefore apparent that delivery volumes in these markets will not - as was previously assumed - return to normal within a few weeks. The highest negative impact is expected in the second quarter of 2020."
Meanwhile, the company reported that 1Q net income slipped 2.4% on year to 574 million euros, while EBIT jumped to 1.38 billion euros from 589 million euros in the prior-year period on revenue of 23.25 billion euros, up 3.5%.
From a technical perspective, the stock price has completed its pullback to the 50-day simple moving average and is posting a rebound. Prices remain within a short term bullish channel. Prices need to stand above 45,7E to maintain the bullish bias. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI, 14) is holding above its horizontal support. Next resistance zone is set between 57,3E and 60,5E.

Caution: A break below 45,7E would call for a reversal down trend towards March 19th low at 36,3E.

DAX Climbs After Fed Move, Eyes Break Above 26,000 Resistance
The DAX has opened significantly higher following the Federal Reserve's delivery of its first interest rate hike since 2023. Although the Fed signaled further tightening, the market reaction was surprisingly positive, as much of the hawkish expectation had already been priced in. Attention now shifts to the 25,900–26,000 point range, which will likely determine whether the current recovery evolves into a new upward wave or remains merely a short-covering rally.
DAX under pressure: US inflation will now decide the outcome
The DAX correction now has little to do with corporate news. Rising oil prices, higher bond yields, and the prospect of further interest rate hikes are dominating market activity. Following the strong US PPI report, all focus is now on today's US CPI. The figures could determine whether the current risk-off phase continues or whether the markets can launch a short-term relief rally.
ECB Day: What DAX investors need to know today
Earnings season has taken a back seat for now. Instead, rising oil prices, higher bond yields, and renewed inflation concerns are shaping market sentiment. Brent crude is trading above $100 per barrel again, while the ECB is poised for another interest rate hike. Investors are now focusing on Christine Lagarde's press conference and today's US producer prices for clues about the future direction of interest rates on both sides of the Atlantic.
