Frankfurt (dpa -Afx) – The DAX remains on a sling course near his record. The broker IG estimated the German leading index two and a half hours before the XETRA trade started around 0.4 percent lower to 24,205 points.
At the start of the week, he had already corrected 24,191 points after he had risen almost to 24,500 points on Friday. The latest record at 24,639 points remains within sight, but investors are currently shy away from greater bets before the rolling reporting season.
In addition, the deadline 1st August is getting closer in the customs dispute with the United States. If the negotiations between the EU and the USA do not bring a deal until then, US President Trump wants to impose import taxes of 30 percent, to which the EU will react with counter-tariffs.
On the US exchange, the S&P 500 market width and the NASDAQ indices (NASDAQ 100) had reached further records, but already during European trade. Ultimately, they could not keep the highest stalls ./AG
