Thursday's Headlines: Deutsche Bank says profit goal jeopardized by turmoil

Deutsche Bank's 10 billion euro profit goal for 2011 has been jeopardized by the recent global turmoil, Dow Jones reports.

Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackerman says the firm may still reach its goal, but that this is "predicated on a recovery in European capital markets and progress with regards to a solution of the European debt crisis," according to Dow Jones.

The agency notes the bank's profit outlook has become murky due to lack of clarity on the euro zone, world economy, and financial markets. New regulations are adding to the confusion. Many analysts, meanwhile, already expect Deutsche Bank to miss its target, Dow Jones says.
