Dax aktuell: Hoher Ölpreis drückt Dax ins Minus – Biontech-Aktie legt zu

On Monday, the Dax index closed slightly in the red at 25,468 points. Just a week earlier, on Friday, the Dax had ended the week on a positive note, rising by 0.8% to 25,568 points, buoyed by falling oil prices. The US inflation data had fuelled bets on a US Federal Reserve interest rate hike. Analyst Thomas Altmann from QC Partners points out the weak yearly performance of the Dax, stating that there have been more than two consecutive negative weeks since March.

He adds that since mid-January, investors have earned no money from the Dax, and since then, it has been a volatile market with downward trends. If the recent downtrend continues, some may feel increasingly nervous. The rise in oil prices at the beginning of the week reignited concerns about a potential supply shortage, as oil prices jumped by more than three percent following further attacks in the Persian Gulf.

Brent crude oil prices for November delivery in the North Sea, with a reference grade, rose to nearly 108 dollars per barrel, nearing the 110-dollar mark. By Friday, the Brent price had slightly fallen after a rapid increase in the days leading up to it.
