Siemens, the industrial manufacturing group, announced that 2Q net income declined 64% on year to 697 million euros and adjusted Industrial business EBITA fell 18% to 1.59 billion euros on revenue of 14.23 billion euros, broadly flat (-1% on a comparable basis).
Industrial business profit and EPS were ahead of consensus.
Industrial business profit and EPS were ahead of consensus.
Regarding the outlook, the company stated: "We expect even stronger impacts from the pandemic on business development in our fiscal third quarter. Beyond the third quarter of fiscal 2020, macroeconomic developments and their influence on Siemens currently cannot be reliably assessed. Therefore, we can no longer confirm our original guidance for fiscal 2020. We now expect a moderate decline in comparable revenue in fiscal year 2020."
From a technical perspective, the stock price remains within a short term bullish trend, supported by the rising 20-day simple moving average (trailing stop). The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI, 14) is holding above its horizontal support at 50%. Prices face significant hurdle near 50% Fibonacci retracement level at 89E.
A break above this resistance level would call for a new up move towards 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 96E.
Alternatively, a break below 80.2E would invalidate the short term bullish bias and would call for a down move towards 72E.

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.
