Key interest rates, quarterly balance sheets and economic data at a glance: DAX and corporations are the focus of the new week.

According to a report by www.deraktionaer.de,

Uncertainty on the stock markets could rise again as the first ECB Governing Council meeting takes place next week and quarterly financial statements from US companies and some tech giants are expected. The German industrial and service sector sentiment indicators as well as the Ifo business climate index are expected to provide disappointing signals. In addition, groundbreaking economic data is expected.

Another area that requires special attention is China. The Chinese central bank's decision on the key monetary policy rate as well as the sentiment indicators for German and European companies is imminent.

As the broker Lynx emphasizes, it is expected that the ECB will leave key interest rates unchanged. This could lead to the still high expectations of interest rate cuts being disappointed. If this happens, there is a risk of a further rise in yields and possibly further setbacks on the European stock exchanges. In addition, it is noted that the disappointing signals in particular could have an impact on the market.

Quarterly reports from important German companies, including SAP and Sartorius, are also expected next week. The balance sheets of large US tech companies such as Netflix, Texas Instruments, IBM and Intel will also play an important role. Positive surprises could be met with share purchases.

In summary, the coming week could be characterized by various price-moving events that could lead to changes on the stock markets. The ECB's decisions, quarterly reports and economic data are expected to have a significant impact on the market. Traders and investors should therefore follow developments closely.
