Dax aktuell: Dax notiert nahezu unverändert – Warten auf US-Arbeitsmarktdaten

Düsseldorf - The DAX remained nearly unchanged on Friday, hovering around 26,000 points. Volkswagen's share was the biggest winner on the morning of the announcement, with a rise of up to 6.8 percent. On Thursday, the DAX had closed at 26,003 points, up 0.6 percent from the previous day. After three loss days, the index had gained over 700 points, stabilizing and briefly surpassing the 26,000-point mark.

This threshold is now under close watch. Rising oil prices and inflation concerns had previously weighed on the market, but by Thursday, investors saw grounds for cautious optimism. Two senior US Federal Reserve officials had publicly stated that a rate hike was far from certain. The likelihood of the Fed raising the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points had been as high as 70 percent just a few days prior.

Following the officials' comments, traders on futures markets were divided: 50 percent expected a rate hike, 50 percent did not. Consequently, the bond market's mood relaxed. The yields on ten-year US Treasury bonds fell by five points.
