FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) – On the German stock market, the Dax initially hardly ventured any further upwards on Wednesday. Shortly before the generally expected interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in the evening, investors are keeping a low profile. Prices on Wall Street fell in late trading. This also slowed down the leading German index, which rose by a few points to 18,737 points in the first few minutes of trading. The Dax is thus within striking distance of the record high of just under 19,000 points reached at the beginning of the month.
The MDax of mid-cap blue chips fell moderately by 0.1 percent to 25,747 points. The Eurozone benchmark index EuroStoxx 50 was flat at the start of trading./bek/stk
