1254 GMT - German industrials group Thyssenkrupp's earnings outlook benefits from policy tailwinds and the group's improving execution, Jefferies's Tommaso Castello and Cole Hathorn say. European Union policy supporting automotive and decarbonization technologies is bullish for the sector, they write. Moreover, the introduction of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism--a policy designed to protect carbon-intensive European industries--will provide a tailwind, the analysts say. The potential sale of the group's Steel Europe division to Indian peer Jindal is another positive catalyst, they add. Thyssenkrupp shares climb 5.85% to 11.39 euros. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
