DAX Falls; Anthropic Boosts AI Stocks
German stock index DAX fell 0.38% to 26,338 points amid geopolitical uncertainty over Iran and weaker US benchmarks, while MDax and EuroStoxx 50 also edged lower. AI-linked stocks gained after a Reuters report that Anthropic projects $190–200 billion revenue for 2028, lifting shares of chip and tech firms such as Marvell, Micron, Broadcom and Amazon; Nvidia rose about 1% and announced a $1.5 billion investment in SoftBank‑backed SB Energy to secure compute for OpenAI. Vonovia shares dropped after Exane BNP resumed an 'Underperform' rating; Salzgitter jumped after Bank of America reinstated positive coverage. Gold recovered to about $4,394 per ounce (up ~11% since the year low).
DAX Rises; Bayer Hits Three-Year High
European markets rose as the DAX gained 0.6%, trading clearly above 25,000 points, while the MDAX and Euro Stoxx 50 also advanced. Bayer and Deutsche Bank were among the DAX's biggest winners; Bayer shares jumped after the company announced the US glyphosate business will be placed into a standalone unit named Ruveon and after a Deutsche Bank upgrade, lifting the stock to about €51 — a three‑year high. European defence names including Rheinmetall continued to recover ahead of a quarterly report. On Wall Street the Dow was around record levels while the Nasdaq trimmed recent gains; Bloomberg reported Meta may build a cloud infrastructure business to sell excess AI compute and models, a move that benefited Meta shares but hurt specialist “neocloud” providers. Oil prices slipped for a third day as the Strait of Hormuz reopened, pressuring Brent and WTI.

Markets were supported by US‑Iran ceasefire negotiation progress, cited by US Vice President JD Vance. US indexes reached fresh highs: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Nasdaq Composite all hit records. Dell shares surged about 40–42% in after‑hours trading after the company raised annual targets, a move tied to investor enthusiasm around AI; Federated Hermes’ Damian McIntyre commented on an ongoing AI investment cycle.
