Dax aktuell: Dax notiert schwächer – Tech-Aktie legt zu

Nach der US-Notenbank Fed hat nun auch die Bank of Japan den Leitzins erhöht. Der Dax profitiert von sinkenden Ölpreisen, neue Konjunkturdaten dürften Anleger jedoch beunruhigen.

Dax aktuell: Dax notiert schwächer – Tech-Aktie legt zu

The German benchmark index, the DAX, failed to capitalize on its gains from the previous day during the last trading session of the week. As of mid-afternoon on Friday, the DAX stood at 25,656 points, marking a decline of roughly 0.7 percent from the prior trading day. On Thursday, the index had managed to gain 0.7 percent, reaching 25,717 points.

Oil markets, however, continued to witness a price decline. The price of Brent crude oil, a North Sea grade, settled at around $103 per barrel (159 liters) on Friday, indicating a 1.2 percent drop compared to the previous trading day. Reports of alternative delivery routes for Saudi Arabian oil exports helped alleviate concerns about supply bottlenecks resulting from the Iran war. Saudi Arabia had recently damaged an important oil pipeline to the Red Sea, an alternative route to the Hormuz Strait, following drone attacks.

According to financial news agency Bloomberg, the country aims to restore nearly half of the capacity within a few days. Producer prices rose as well, with those for industrial goods in August standing 4.6 percent above the same month last year, 1.1 percent higher than in July.
