FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) – Investors used the slight losses at the start of the week on the German stock market to make tentative purchases on Tuesday. The Dax rose by 0.4 percent to 18,712 points in early trading. The record high of 18,990 points reached at the beginning of the month thus remains in its sights. However, investors are unlikely to make any major bets shortly before the eagerly awaited interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve on Wednesday evening.
The MDax of mid-cap blue chips rose by 0.7 percent to 25,579 points. The Eurozone’s leading index, the EuroStoxx 50, also rose by 0.5 percent./bek/men
