Dax aktuell: Dax startet mit neuem Rekord in die Handelswoche

DAX, the leading German stock index, began the new week with a record high. By mid-morning, it climbed to 25,997 points, surpassing the previous record of 25,900. Late last weekend, US President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of what he claimed was the largest military attack on the US since World War II, in order to give new negotiations with Iran a chance.

However, Thomas Altmann of QC-Partners warns that the optimism surrounding Iran is driving today's stock prices. Statistically, though, from now on, there are signs that stocks may not be favorable, as August is typically the weakest month for the stock market. According to US President Donald Trump, new negotiations with Iran are set to begin on Monday, aiming for an "immediate, complete, and total" reopening of the Hormuz Strait and the end of Iran's nuclear threat.

State Iranian news agency Irna had previously reported, citing Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, that the negotiations between Tehran and Oman on the Hormuz Strait were in the final phase.
