In a major legal development removing a key overhang for major German corporates, Bayer (BAYRY) announced it won a US Supreme Court case over its Roundup herbicide. The court overturned a previous jury award to a Missouri man who claimed the product causes cancer, saving the company billions of dollars, according to reports. Bayer shares surged on Thursday June 25, pushing the DAX index toward a critical level.
BAYRY closed at $13.16 on June 25, up from an intraday low of $11.27, per market data. Rheinmetall (RNMBY) ended at $214.05 while Volkswagen (VWAGY) settled at $8.87. The victory strengthens Bayer's legal position against thousands of similar lawsuits, potentially capping future damages.

Markets also await a speech by ECB President Christine Lagarde later today and past comments from Fed's Christopher Waller, which may steer European indices and currencies. BAYRY at $13.16 (June 25 close) may test resistance at $13.40 if positive momentum continues.
