Today is March 27th 2026.

Today’s German business headlines point to an economy that is still
searching for momentum. Earnings at DAX companies remain weak for a
third straight year, with the auto sector continuing to drag on
overall performance. That lines up with a downgraded outlook from
the Handelsblatt Research Institute, which now sees little more
than marginal growth ahead.

Companies are reacting in very different ways. Müller has put its
China plans on hold and is focusing on Europe, while BASF is doing
the opposite, opening a major new site in southern China to
strengthen its global chemicals business. Bertelsmann is also
looking outward, with Thomas Rabe targeting strong growth in
India.

At the same time, financing conditions are getting tougher. Bond
market volatility, rising credit costs and fresh concerns around
private credit show that pressure is building across the financial
system. On the investment side, Allianz’s move into Amprion
highlights the value of energy infrastructure, while the market is
watching Oracle and next-generation AI very closely as big bets on
future growth. Overall, the mood is cautious, selective and shaped
by resilience rather than optimism. 

And that’s a look at today’s economic developments. Until next
time, take care and stay informed.
