Dax aktuell: Deutscher Leitindex startet 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, known as the DAX, opened the new trading week in decline, falling 0.7% to 25,439 points shortly after the market opened. Despite this initial drop, the index remained above the levels of the previous two weeks. The previous week had seen the DAX rise by nearly 1% to 25,623 points, reaching its highest point since mid-September.
In contrast, the U.S. markets experienced a wave of selling throughout the week, leading to significant losses for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. One key factor influencing investor sentiment continues to be the price of oil. Following a five-month high reached on Friday, the pressure to start the week on a high note eased. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, the reference type from the North Sea for delivery in December, fell slightly by nearly 2% to around $108 on the early trading session. On Friday, the Brent price had surged as high as $110, marking its highest level since May.
