Dax aktuell: Dax eröffnet im Plus – Bessent beeindruckt nicht
Die markigen Ankündigungen des US-Finanzministers zu Iran-Sanktionen lassen Anleger unbeeindruckt – der Ölpreis fällt sogar. Wichtige Daten zum US-Arbeitsmarkt folgen am Nachmittag.
Düsseldorf - The announcements made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding new punitive measures targeting Iran failed to impress investors in Germany. While Bessent issued broad threats, he provided no specific details. The DAX, Germany's leading index, opened at 26,215 points for the trading day, up slightly from the previous day's close of 26,107 points.
Bessent had announced "Operation economically Outcasted" the previous evening, warning countries that trade with Iran of secondary US sanctions. These sanctions would reportedly extend to sectors including gold, technology, aviation, shipping, and digital assets. The US Treasury also announced sanctions against an unnamed financial institution by the end of the week.
Talks were ongoing with the affected countries, but Bessent did not provide further specifics. He did not clarify what time frame the targeted countries would have to sever their economic ties with Iran and which countries would be impacted. Consequently, the major US indices remained relatively unchanged on Monday.
