Dax aktuell: Dax schließt im Plus – fallende Ölpreise geben der Börse Aufwind
Aussichten auf eine Lösung im Iran-Konflikt sorgten am Freitag für Entspannung an den globalen Märkten. Doch die Stimmung der deutschen Verbraucher trübt sich ein.
Düsseldorf witnessed the DAX index close higher on the weekend, buoyed by falling oil prices. The German leading stock market index ended Friday just 0.6% above the previous day's closing at 25,409 points. It had previously closed 0.6% lower on Thursday at 25,267 points. Reports from the media suggest that both American and Iranian negotiators are discussing a gradual withdrawal from the war in New York.
This could lead to the reopening of the Hormuz Strait by Tehran and the lifting of the economic blockade against Iran imposed by Washington. Iran's foreign minister claimed at the UN General Assembly that he had presented a new proposal to the US for restarting negotiations on ending the war. Consequently, oil prices dropped significantly.
The Brent crude oil from the North Sea and the US oil WTI both fell by 0.2 and 0.5 percent respectively, hitting 106 and 94 dollars per barrel for November delivery on Friday evening.
