Hugo Boss, a luxury fashion house, reported that 1Q EBIT slumped 75% on year to 14 million euros and revenue declined 16% (-17% currency-adjusted) to 555 million euros, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the company said it will suspend the dividend payment for fiscal year 2019, except for the legal minimum dividend of 0.04 euro per share.
Regarding the outlook, the company stated: "HUGO BOSS hence expects currency-adjusted Group sales to decrease by at least 50% in the second quarter. Nevertheless, the company is confident that from the third quarter on, the retail environment will gradually improve. This should also positively impact the Group's sales and earnings development in the second half of the year."
From a technical perspective, the stock price remains capped by a key horizontal resistance at 27,27E (March 16th gap). Bollinger bands are narrowing meaning that the price is likely to fluctuate within a trading range on a short term basis. Readers may want to wait until the stock price breaks above the resistance at 27,27E before opening long positions.
As long as 27,27E is resistance, the price could fall again towards March 19th low at 19,11E. A break above 27,27E would call for a quick rise towards 34E (20WMA).

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.
