Dax aktuell: Dax schließt im Plus und knapp über 26.000-Punkte-Marke

Düsseldorf - After a subdued start to the trading day, investors on Germany's stock market eventually regained confidence. The Dax closed at 26,003 points on Thursday, a 0.6% gain. This marked the index's recovery from three consecutive losing days and enabled it to surpass the 26,000-point milestone. On Wednesday, the German benchmark index had ended 0.5% lower at 25,839 points.

It had not been this low since late July. September initially lived up to its reputation as a historically poor month for the stock market. In the meantime, unexpected positive signals started to outweigh the concerns. Two top-ranking central bank officials indicated that a rate pause was possible, assuming August inflation data showed a slower rate of price increases.

Moreover, market participants were primarily focused on the economic outlook. Five leading economic research institutes raised their 2026 expectations, projecting a German gross domestic product (GDP) growth almost twice as fast as previously anticipated, significantly exceeding the pre-2022 mark of one percent.
