Monday:
What was still being denied at the end of last year is now becoming a reality. Stephan Sturm is stepping down from his position on the supervisory board at $BOSS (+0,43%) HUGO BOSS. Presumably at the urging of major shareholder Frasers Group. It appears that HUGO BOSS is on the verge of a takeover.
$BNTX (+2,21%) BioNTech has reached a milestone in its lung cancer treatment. For a specific form of lung cancer, life expectancy has been doubled. Instead of 10 months, these patients now survive an average of 18.5 months.

Wednesday:
For the first time since 2023, the Fed is raising interest rates again. Due to the war in Iran and high inflation, the central bank must respond. The interest rate range in the U.S. thus rises to 3.75–4%.

Friday:
$VOW (-2,05%) VW lowers its forecast. Factory sales, write-downs on Porsche, and a 7% decline in revenue are expected. Total profit is projected to shrink to a profit margin of 1% by 2026, or about 3 billion euros.
