Dax aktuell: Investoren vor Fed-Entscheid „hochgradig nervös“ – Dax leicht im Plus
In Erwartung eines Zinsschritts der US-Notenbank bewegen sich die großen Indizes zunächst wenig. Die Anleiherenditen gehen derweil etwas zurück.
Düsseldorf - Investors are feeling "extremely nervous" ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision on Wednesday, according to market experts. The Fed's decision, which is scheduled for the evening, typically causes investors to avoid trading and prepare for a potential shift in the market landscape.
The DAX, Germany's benchmark index, was slightly higher on Wednesday morning at 25,521 points compared to the previous day. However, the Fed's decision has already been determined, and market participants estimate the likelihood of a rate hike by 25 basis points to between 3.75 and 4.0 percent at 95 percent. This is due to strong labor market data from the previous week and persistent high inflation figures from last Friday, solidifying expectations.
Despite this, bond investors are particularly anxious, according to Joachim Schallmayer, head of capital markets and strategy at Deka, a subsidiary of Sparkasse. He explained that if the Fed does not act, it would leave a significant level of uncertainty, potentially leading to further increases in long-term interest rates.
