US stock market indices, such as the DAX, respond to the release of US inflation data, with the shares of companies like Bayer under the spotlight
Bayer's Stock Decline Tied to Glyphosate Legal Dispute, While BMW and Commerzbank See Gains
In a surprising turn of events, Bayer's stock is experiencing a significant decline, falling over two percent in the DAX. This drop is directly linked to the ongoing US glyphosate legal dispute, according to recent reports. The Rheinische Post published a report stating that Bayer is appealing to the highest US court in this legal dispute, but no new insights were provided. Despite this legal appeal, Bayer's stock is not currently recovering.
Elsewhere in the market, BMW stocks have shown a different trend. After a sharp fall due to downgraded forecasts related to braking system problems, BMW stocks have gained almost 3%. However, the supplier of these braking systems, Continental, has not recovered and is down 2% today. More details about these issues can be found in a separate report.
The DAX is currently up 0.5% at 18,365 points, with the Euro Stoxx 50 following suit, rising 0.6% to 4,777 points. Siemens Energy stock has also seen a positive trend, gaining over 2.8%.
Interestingly, Commerzbank stock has gained 18% unchallenged at the top. This surge is due to speculation about a takeover by UniCredit, with more details available in a separate report.
Investors are currently focusing on DAX companies in the finance, IT, and industry sectors. This focus is due to expected profit growth of 4% in 2025 and around 15% in 2026 and 2027. Additionally, a DAX composition change effective September 22, 2025, adds GEA Group and Scout24 while removing Porsche and Sartorius, which affects market dynamics. Bayer's stocks are receiving special coverage recently as they appear among firms in discussion alongside others like Palantir and Rheinmetall, reflecting ongoing investor attention.
On the economic front, the new US inflation rate is 2.5%, the lowest since February 2021. However, core US inflation, excluding energy and food prices, showed a surprising increase and remains above 3%. Helaba expects the European Central Bank (ECB) and the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to reconsider rate cuts due to this US inflation data. However, it's important to note that the Bayer stock's decline is not related to the ECB or the Fed reconsidering rate cuts.
In conclusion, while Bayer's stock is facing challenges due to the glyphosate legal dispute, other companies like BMW, Commerzbank, and Siemens Energy are seeing positive trends. The market remains dynamic, with investors keeping a close eye on various sectors and companies.
