Dax aktuell: Dax öffnet unverändert – US-Inflation im Fokus

Düsseldorf – The Dax index opened unchanged on Wednesday, starting at 26,452 points, but showed minimal movement.

The market seems to be driven more by the fact that there is little profit-taking, according to Altmann. Additionally, progress in negotiations between Oman and Iran, along with a temporary decrease in oil prices, contributed to good sentiment in European stock markets. However, this calm did not last long as US President Donald Trump reiterated his threats against Iran, stating that the Strait of Hormuz was completely under American control.
