Volkswagen’s CFO indicated that restructuring efforts require additional measures in some areas, and the company is still considering U.S. production for Audi due to the tariffs. The CEO stated that a Japan-style trade deal with a 15% tariff would align results closer to their guidance range. Deutsche Bank reported its highest Q2 profits since 2007 and is on track to meet its 2025 targets, with a net profit of €3.7 billion for the first half of the year.
