Dax aktuell: Dax fällt auf tiefsten Stand seit Juli – Ölpreis steigt über 100-Dollar-Marke
Anleger reagieren verunsichert auf weiter steigende Energiepreise im Zuge der erneuten Eskalation im Nahen Osten. Ausgehend vom Rekordhoch hat der Dax in kurzer Zeit 1000 Punkte verloren.
In the middle of the week, the German stock market, known as the DAX, faces significant pressure. On Wednesday, the index fell below the crucial 26,000-point mark, closing 1.5% lower at 25,627 points. This represents the market's lowest level since July 31st. Since reaching a record high of 26,618.41 points in late August, the DAX has lost 1,000 points.
Investors are feeling uncertain due to the growing escalation in the Middle East, leading to a renewed rise in energy prices. The price of Brent crude oil, a North Sea light crude, has surpassed the 100-dollar mark per barrel, or 159 liters. This is the first time it has exceeded this level since May. Following the outbreak of war in February, oil prices briefly dropped to nearly 120 dollars. However, since the beginning of August, the price of Brent oil has risen by more than a quarter.
