Dax aktuell: Dax dreht ins Minus – Ölpreis über 100 Dollar

The DAX index, Germany's main stock market indicator, slipped by 0.8% on Thursday afternoon, just above the 25,000-point mark, sitting at 25,006 points. On Wednesday, the index had closed 0.8% lower at 25,199 points. Falling stock prices across European markets were driven by a surprisingly strong surge in German consumer prices.

In September, goods and services cost 3.3% more than a year ago, according to an initial estimate released on Wednesday. On Wall Street, major indices closed unevenly. In Japan, the Nikkei index surged temporarily by three percent on Thursday, buoyed by a rally in chip prices. Robust business figures from chipmaker Micron have fueled optimism about AI-related investments.
