Germany's DAX Index Closes Busy Earnings Day in Green

German shares ended an earnings-heavy session in positive territory, with the blue-chip DAX index up 0.76% on Wednesday.Merck KGaA (MRK.F) was among the index's top performers, rising 7.21%, after lifting its full-year 2026 guidance, driven by expected growth in its life science and healthcare businesses despite challenging market conditions. The German science and technology company expects 2026 net sales of 20.4 billion euros to 21.4 billion euros, compared with its previous forecast of 20 billion euros to 21.1 billion euros.Meanwhile, Siemens' (SIE.F) fiscal second-quarter sales held steady at 19.76 billion euros, 1.9% behind the consensus estimate of 20.14 billion euros and 1.4% below RBC Capital Markets' forecast of 20.03 billion euros. On the flip side, the German technology group's reported orders climbed 11% to 24.11 billion euros on increased demand in most of its industrial businesses, particularly smart infrastructure."Overall, a supportive progression in [Digital Industries / Smart Infrastructure] (but consensus already positioned in the upper end of guidance here), but slightly disappointing that this is offset at the group level by Mobility and Healthineers (SHL.F). While Siemens is making corporate progress with the reduction in its stake in Healthineers, the slow timeline on the spin, and uncertainty around factors such as the macro demand backdrop and AI software risks, may still limit investor enthusiasm in the short term," the research firm wrote in a quick-take note.

UK Shares Gain as Market Weighs King's Speech, Political Developments

London's FTSE 100 closed 0.35% higher on Wednesday as investors assessed political developments in the UK, including King Charles III's Speech and cabinet resignations, while awaiting gross domestic product and other economic data due on Thursday."During yesterday's cabinet meeting, PM Starmer reiterated his call that he would stay on despite the number of [members of parliament] wanting Starmer to quit crossing the 81 required to mark a leadership challenge if they coalesced around a candidate. It's important to note that any calls or letters for Starmer to resign don't trigger anything unless MPs explicitly back an alternative candidate. So even as four ministers resigned from government yesterday, it does look increasingly possible that he will see this through for now, with Polymarket odds of Starmer leaving by June 30 down to 33% this morning from as high as 80% on Monday night," Deutsche Bank Research said.In parliament, the King's Speech outlined the government's legislative agenda for the parliamentary session, including stronger ties with the European Union and measures focused on economic growth, housing, energy security, and public sector reform.In corporate news, assurance, testing, and certification company Intertek Group (ITRK.L) halted its strategic review as it plans to facilitate Swedish private equity giant EQT with confirmatory due diligence ahead of a final takeover agreement. The stock closed at one of the top spots on the blue-chip index, gaining 5.28%."Since we cannot be certain that a firm offer will follow the confirmatory due diligence set to occur through the [put up or shut up] period (likely now extended to 11th June), we lower our rating to Sector Perform [from outperform]," RBC Capital Markets said.Meanwhile, Spirax Group (SPX.L) was down 1.74% after maintaining its 2026 guidance for organic growth in group revenue while flagging a "weak [industrial production] environment." For the first four months ended April 30, the British thermal energy and fluid technology company logged mid-single-digit organic growth in group revenue, in line with expectations.Next, investors await GDP numbers for March, which are widely expected to show a yearly ease in economic growth to 0.7% from 1% in February and a monthly contraction of 0.2% after a 0.5% rise previously.
