The central bank widely expected to trim interest rates by 25 basis points, taking its key rate, the deposit facility rate, to 2% German factory orders rose 0.6% in April from the previous month, preliminary data showed on Thursday. The Federal Statistical Office said the rise in April was largely due to a significant increase in the manufacturing of data processing equipment, electrical goods and optical products. Most Asian indices rose on Thursday, with the South Korean market extending gains from the previous session. Investor attention remained on a potential call between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which the White House indicated could take place this week.

Data from payroll processor ADP showed that payrolls increased by only 37,000 in May, compared to a revised 60,000 in April. The report has heightened concerns about the impact of trade-related uncertainty on the U.S. economy. The data precedes the release of the official nonfarm payrolls report for May, scheduled for Friday, which investors now expect to show further weakness.

Genetic testing company 23andMe to re-auction over 15 million customers' DNA data with bid starting at $305mn — Details

Bankrupt genetic analysis company 23andMe said it will conduct a second auction for its DNA data cache, with an opening bid of $305 million from former CEO Anne Wojcicki, Bloomberg reported. 23andMe built its fame by providing medical and ancestry-related genetic testing to over 15 million customers. It has nearly 5,50,000 subscribers, but filed for bankruptcy saying this was not enough to keep the business afloat, the report added. Notably, this new offer is around $50 million higher than the last bid (which was $256 million) won by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals in May 2025. The result of that auction, conducted over three days, was challenged by Wojcicki, who argued that bidding was unfairly closed to favor Regeneron. This auction comes as a compromise between the three parties, after Wojcicki, Regeneron and 23andMe attended a hearing in the matter at a federal court in St Louis on June 4, as per the publication. Hearing the case, US Bankruptcy Judge Brian Walsh asked Regeneron and 23andMe to justify the limits they wanted to set for the second auction process. Company attorney Christopher Hopkins told Judge Walsh that under the new rules, Wojcicki and her partner, a California-based research institute, would make a bid of $305 million, which Regeneron can counter with at least $315 million. Hopkins added that Wojcicki and the research institute would be then allowed to make another bid, post which, Regeneron gets the chance to make the last offer of the auction. The case is 23andMe Holding Co., number 25-40976, in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the report added. Amid the bankruptcy and auction news, a host of 23andMe's customers and government officials have raised an alarm over protection and security of the years of DNA data held by the company. The business worked by collecting saliva samples from customers, which was used to extract DNA and then trace one's ancestry or certain health-related genetic traits. The mail-back saliva test cost less than $200. Both Regeneron and Wojcicki have pledged to comply with 23andMe's privacy policy, based on which customers had submitted their samples. The policy allows customers to get their personal information deleted on request. The pioneering company on March 23, 2025, said that it had 'filed a voluntary petition for reorganisation' with a state bankruptcy court in Missouri, USA. Notably, just months before 23andMe declared backruptcy, and tried to attact buyers, it was hit with a class-action lawsuit due to a 2023 data breach that gave hackers access to customer information. Settlement from those claims is also likely to be addressed during the bankruptcy process, the report said. (With inputs from Bloomberg)
