Dax aktuell: Dax notiert leicht im Plus – Warten auf US-Arbeitsmarktdaten
Der Dax gewinnt leicht und entfernt sich in kleinen Schritten von der 26.000-Punkte-Marke. Für den weiteren Verlauf werden US-Daten entscheidend sein, die den Kurs der Geldpolitik bestimmen.
Düsseldorf - The Dax index ended Friday with a 0.4% gain, sitting at 26,106 points, just below the key 26,000-point mark. Volkswagen's stock was the biggest gainer after approval for significant restructuring, rising up to 7.3%. The index had previously closed at 26,003 points on Thursday, up 0.6%, after three losing days that saw it drop over 700 points in total.
After three consecutive losing days, the Dax stabilized and narrowly cleared the 26,000-point threshold, which is now under close watch. Rising oil prices and inflation concerns weighed on prices in recent days, but traders found reason for cautious optimism on Thursday. Two senior US Federal Reserve officials publicly stated they were not ruling out a rate increase anytime soon, significantly lowering the odds of a 25 basis point hike to around 70%.
Traders on futures markets were divided, with 50% expecting a rate increase while 50% did not. This had a calming effect on the bond market, with yields on ten-year US Treasury bonds falling by five points.
