"DAX Sets New Records: Bull Market in Full Swing"
Customs Shock: Record Broken by Dax Five Weeks Later
The German stock market is painting a rosy picture as the DAX streaks past previous highs. On Friday, the benchmark index soared to approximately 23,543 points and finished the day up 0.63%, closing at 23,499.32 points. Claudia Windt of Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen remarked, "The stock market lights are still shining bright." Investors, eager not to miss out on the action, are rushing to grab shares.
Early spring saw the DAX stumble due to US President Donald Trump's bold tariff threats and China's response. The index plummeted to near 18,490 points in April. Yet, since then, the DAX has staged an impressive comeback, notching up over a quarter in its renewed vigor, making it 18% higher year-to-date.
Meanwhile, the MDax, which tracks medium-sized German corporations, also recorded gains, swinging up by 0.60% to 29,730.13 points on Friday. However, it's yet to touch its 2021 record high.
The current surge in the stock market can be attributed to investors' confidence in Trump's skills as a dealmaker. In the past day, Trump reported a preliminary accord in the trade spat with the UK. As the US and China are set to talk over the weekend, there's palpable excitement in the air.
