06:49 AM EST, 03/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Deutsche Bank ( DB ) shares were up nearly 1% in premarket activity Thursday after closing up 13.8% a day earlier following news of massive spending increases by the German government.

Germany's presumptive chancellor Friedrich Merz and his coalition partners have promised to change the constitution to exempt defense spending from fiscal limits in order to support European security in the face of an American reluctance to support Ukraine.

He is also preparing a plan to invest 500 billion euros ($539.7 billion) over 10 years on infrastructure, including transport and housing, news outlets reported.
