Dax aktuell: Dax baut Minus aus – Ölpreis nähert sich 100-Dollar-Marke

September is living up to its reputation as a typically poor month for stock markets. The Dax index, at the midpoint of the week, is just below 25,800 points, marking a 0.7 percent decline from its beginning. Since the start of the week, the leading index has lost more than one percent each day, the first time this has happened in over eight weeks, according to data from LSEG.

Additionally, the trading volume on Tuesday was low, with fewer than 50 million shares changing hands. On Monday, more than 80 million transactions occurred. Overall, the index has lost over 600 points since the previous Friday. The long-term trend remains intact as the Dax moves away from the 26,000-point mark. Thomas Altmann, a portfolio manager at QC Markets, writes that it is now becoming "intriguing and potentially directional" to see how investors respond to the index falling below the psychologically important 2,000-point mark.

However, the index is still above the 200-day line, which represents the average closing price of the past 200 days, sitting at 24,630 points.
