Ölpreis nähert sich wieder Marke von 100-Dollar-Marke

Der Ölpreis steigt und steigt, weil die Angriffe im Iran wieder zunehmen. Auch der Preis für EU-Gas zieht weiter noch oben

September has lived up to its reputation as a historically poor month for the stock market. As of mid-week, the DAX index stood at 25,861 points, marking a 0.4% decline. Since the beginning of the week, the leading index has lost more than a percent each day for the first time in over eight weeks, according to data from LSEG. The trading volume on Tuesday was also relatively low, with fewer than 50 million shares changing hands.

On Monday, the figure was over 80 million transactions. In total, the leading index has dropped over 600 points since the previous Friday. The long-term trend remains intact as the leading index moves away from the 26,000-point mark. Thomas Altmann, a portfolio manager at QC Markets, notes that it is now "intriguing and potentially direction-setting to observe how investors respond to the index falling below this psychologically significant thousand-point mark."

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