Dax aktuell: Dax liegt trotz US-Zinsentscheid und Zolldrohung im Plus
Nach der Zinserhöhung der Fed schauen Anleger heute auf die Bank of England. Ein weiter fallender Ölpreis treibt die Märkte an. Doch Analysten warnen vor voreiliger Euphorie.
Düsseldorf – Despite a looming US trade threat and a potential EU tariff, Germany's leading index, the DAX, closed in the positive on Thursday. The index showed a gain of about 0.4 percent at 25,634 points. It had gained roughly half a percent on Wednesday to reach 25,537 points. US President Donald Trump warned of potential tariffs or trade restrictions if he deemed the EU's move to make Canada an "associated member" of the European Union as a "hostile act."
Investors are now focusing on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is expected to address the European Parliament in Strasbourg in the morning. Recent strength in the DAX can largely be attributed to a decline in oil prices, with Brent crude oil decreasing by about one percent to trade at $104.81 per barrel on Thursday. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil also dropped by 0.6 percent to $101.79 per barrel. Both contracts fell by around three dollars on Wednesday.
