Current Dax: Dax is up ahead of inflation data - Movement on the stock market again

Düsseldorf: As inflation figures loom, investors are emerging from their reserves, prompting the DAX to trend upwards on Wednesday. The index closed at 25,550 points on the day, marking a 0.6% gain. Throughout the week, the German stock market has been largely inactive. Despite recent developments, the DAX has lost ground in September, falling from its record high of 26,618.74 points just a few weeks ago.

Uncertainties stemming from the Middle East conflict have significantly burdened the markets, evident in the 200-day line, which averages the past 200 days and indicates the long-term trend. Currently, the line stands at 25,634 points, with the DAX fluctuating around this figure. Should the index rise above this level, it could signal a broader upward trend.

"Currently, investors are struggling to position themselves on either side," explains Thomas Altmann, Portfolio Manager at QC Markets, acknowledging the high barrier of choosing the wrong side.
