Dax aktuell: Dax holt Tagesverluste auf – Ölpreis fällt auf Ein-Monats-Tief

Düsseldorf – The German stock market, represented by the Dax index, experienced a slight decline on Tuesday, pulling back from its losses to close 0.45 percent lower at 25,865 points. Earlier, the index had dropped to a low of 25,678 points. However, renewed confidence helped the Dax regain support and climb back to the 26,000-point mark, a target it had been steadily working towards over the previous week.

This rebound in the Dax index is attributed to developments in energy markets. Early in the trading day, oil prices surged in response to potential military action by the United States in the Strait of Hormuz. Consequently, oil prices began to decline again, with the Brent crude oil price, used for delivery in January, falling by nearly one percent to $104 per barrel.

At one point, the price dipped below $101. The price for U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light oil for delivery in December is also decreasing.
