Dax aktuell: Dax notiert im Minus – Infineon-Aktie steigt

On Thursday morning, the Dax index fell by approximately 1.3 percent to 24,875 points. The previous day, the German benchmark index had closed 0.8 percent lower at 25,199 points. Falling stock prices across European exchanges were driven by a surprisingly strong surge in German consumer prices. On Wall Street, the main indices closed unevenly.

In Japan, the Nikkei index briefly rose by three percent on Thursday, fueled by a rally in semiconductor values. Robust earnings from Micron also fueled optimism about AI-related investments. Another focus on Thursday was the French government's presentation of its budget draft for 2027. Among economic data, the purchasing managers' index for industry in the Eurozone and the US in September, as well as labor market data for the Eurozone in August, were highlighted.

Nike, the world's largest sportswear company and Adidas rival, released its earnings for the first quarter of 2026/27 after the US stock market closed. In the oil market, a dip in oil prices eased supply concerns. The prices for the Brent crude grade and the US oil WTI (delivery for December) fell by nearly one and a half percent to $96.55 and $88.79 per barrel, respectively, on Thursday. Brent had risen by around 14 percent in September, while WTI had surged by over five percent.
