FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) – The 20,000-point mark on the DAX, which came back into focus at the start of the year, remained in the spotlight on Friday. The previous day, the leading German index had closed above the round mark for the first time since mid-December after a bumpy trading session. It fluctuated around this level in early trading on Friday.
Most recently, the leading index fell by 0.1% to 20,006.13 points on the second trading day of the borrower’s year 2025. The MDax, which includes medium-sized German stocks, lost 0.24% to 25,656.33 points. The EuroStoxx, the leading eurozone index, also fell by 0.2 percent.
“The Dax continues to search in vain for convinced buyers to push the index back above the 20,000 mark,” wrote expert Jochen Stanzl from CMC Markets in the morning. The imminent inauguration of Donald Trump as US President on January 20 will put investors’ resolve to the test./tih/mis
