Week Ahead - Feb 16th

Frankfurt's DAX 40 managed to close about 0.3% up at 24,915 on Friday, halting a three-day losing run, mainly supported by defense and aerospace stocks and tech companies. MTU Aero Engines was among the top gainers, rising 4.4%, benefiting from the optimistic outlook from French peer Safran. Hensoldt (2.3%), Rheinmetall (1.8%) and Renk (1%) saw increased buying, as traders eyed developments at the Munich Security Conference, which runs until Sunday. Shares in Rheinmetall were also underpinned by news of its automotive divestment and a €200 million NATO contract for 120mm ammunition. SAP and Infineon Technologies rose 1.5% each, on easing AI worries. On the flip side, banks and financials were the top losers, as investors trimmed positions following a benign US inflation report. Softer-than-anticipated inflation reinforced expectations of further Fed cuts and left open the possibility of renewed easing by the ECB, which could squeeze banks' margins. For the week, the index rose 0.8%.

DAX Closes Slightly Higher
