Dax aktuell: Deutscher Leitindex mittags im Minus – Ölpreis im Fokus
Der Dax zeigte sich vergangene Woche noch unberührt vom Ausverkauf der Chipaktien in Übersee. Nun dreht er jedoch auch ins Negative. Der schwankende Ölpreis verunsichert Anleger.
Düsseldorf – The German benchmark index, the DAX, began the new trading week with a decline from the previous week's gains. It opened the day at 25,304 points, down over 300 points from Friday's closing price, marking a 1.3 percent loss. Over the past week, the DAX had risen by nearly 1 percent, reaching 25,623 points, its highest level since mid-September.
Meanwhile, in the United States, a wave of selling among chip stocks on Wall Street dominated the market trend throughout the week. However, both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq continued to experience substantial losses.
A key concern remains the price of oil. Following its peak five months ago, the pressure eased at the start of the week. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, the standard grade from the North Sea for delivery in December, dropped slightly by nearly 2 percent to around $108 per barrel in early trading. The decline on Monday was attributed to President Donald Trump's announcement of lifting sanctions against Russia. Investors speculated on a larger supply of Russian fuel to the market.
