However, an escalation of tensions could dampen overall risk appetite. In this context, developments must continue to be closely monitored. In mid-June, both warring parties had still prepared a peace agreement. However, according to Tehran's view, this is no longer valid after the escalation at the beginning of the month.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ECB could leave key interest rate unchanged \u2013 Christine Lagarde in focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From the perspective of the economic calendar, Thursday is expected to be particularly exciting with the ECB's central bank meeting. While the key interest rate decision is expected at 2:15 PM, President Christine Lagarde is likely to address the public half an hour later. Investors should pay attention to potential monetary policy impulses in this context. The so-called deposit facility rate is currently at 2.25 percent. The ECB only adjusted the interest rate level upwards by 25 basis points in June. It is possible that the ECB could hold its ground on key interest rates on Thursday.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Economic data rounds off trading week \u2013 significant impulses possible<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On the last trading day of the week, new data on GfK consumer confidence (8:00 AM) should be noted first.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary figures from the German Purchasing Managers (S&amp;P Global) for the services, services sector, and \u201eall\u201c sectors are to be noted at 9:30 AM. The counterparts for the Eurozone (10:00 AM) and the USA (3:45 PM) are also likely to send important economic signals.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>US earnings season continues to gain momentum \u2013 numbers galore also begin in Frankfurt<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the already ongoing US earnings season, the results of Alphabet (A) (ISIN: US02079K3059) and Tesla (ISIN: US88160R1014) for the past business quarter are in focus today. On Thursday, for example, Intel (ISIN: US4581401001) will report, and on Friday, American Express (ISIN: US0258161092).<\/p>\n<p>After the stock market closes, the figures from Deutsche B\u00f6rse (ISIN: DE0005810055) are expected here today. On Thursday, Sartorius (ISIN: DE0007165631) and SAP (ISIN: DE0007164600) will release their figures, followed by Volkswagen (ISIN: DE0007664039) on Friday.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite geopolitical and monetary policy uncertainties, the DAX could again attempt to break above the psychologically important mark of 25,000 points.
