Dax currently: Investors unimpressed despite strong economic outlook – Dax remains unchanged
High oil prices, rising bond yields and geopolitical uncertainty are slowing down the markets. A strong Ifo business climate index cannot convince investors.
On Thursday, investors are cautious ahead of a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump. The Dax index is unchanged at 25,406 points, having closed 0.7% lower on Wednesday. The meeting, which includes a state banquet attended by CEOs from US companies like Apple, Nvidia, OpenAI, and JP Morgan, comes amid tensions between the superpowers over trade and technology.
The US government has extended a tariff pause in the trade conflict with China until January 10, according to US Finance Minister Scott Bessent. The pause was originally agreed upon by Xi and Trump in October 2025 in Busan, South Korea.
