Dax aktuell: Midterms bewegen Dax ins Plus – Heidelberg-Aktie springt nach oben
Der deutliche Wahlsieg der Demokraten in den USA entspricht den Erwartungen der Anlegerinnen und Anleger. Für Bewegung sorgen zudem Zahlen und Inflationsdaten.
Düsseldorf – The Democratic Party's victory in the US midterm elections has led to a bullish trend in the DAX index, with the benchmark stock market indicator closing Thursday morning nearly 1% higher at 26,104 points. The index has since surpassed the psychologically significant level of 26,000 points.
The subdued reaction to the election results may be attributed to US President Donald Trump's congratulatory message and his indication that he would no longer use his veto rights permanently for legislative proposals. In the run-up to the elections, experts had feared Trump might not accept the outcome, potentially causing political instability. However, the Democratic majority in both chambers of Congress now renders Trump a "lame duck" for the remainder of his term.
The impact of the elections on the Iran conflict remains unclear. There were concerns prior to the November 3rd vote that the US and Israel might intensify their attacks on Iran, potentially driving up oil and gas prices. At present, though, there is no indication of such a scenario unfolding.
