Dax aktuell: Dax fällt unter 26.000 – Neues Hoch bei den Anleiherenditen

Frankfurt - The German stock market's steady upward trend has temporarily halted as the Dax index fell below the 26,000 mark in early trading on Tuesday. The index slipped 0.5% to 25,891 points. It had already dipped marginally on Monday. However, trading volume was extremely low due to the absence of trading in the United States on a holiday.

Wall Street also showed losses at the start of the week's market week. Rising oil prices have caused market uncertainty. Brent crude oil rose by another two percent to over 99 dollars per barrel, surpassing the 100-dollar mark for the first time since late May. WTI crude oil prices were three percent higher at 94.50 dollars. Higher energy prices directly fuel inflation and put a strain on consumer sentiment, leading to expectations that central banks will raise interest rates in response to the growing pressure on prices.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to raise interest rates for the second time this year at its meeting on Thursday.
