GERMANY: – STABLE – After the weak start to the month, investors in the DAX seem to be taking a breather. The broker IG estimated the German leading index to be almost unchanged at 23,594 points around two and a half hours before the start of Xetra trading. The day before, the Dax, which had recovered so strongly at the end of November, had given up again. In the meantime it had even fallen to 23,433 points. Ultimately, from a technical point of view, he was able to prevent the worst in the chart and escaped again above the round mark of 23,500 points and the simple 200-day line as an important trend barometer. The setback on Wall Street was more moderate in the evening and there is no clear trend emerging in Asia.
USA: – SLIGHTLY IN MINUS – The start to the usually strong stock market month of December failed on the US stock exchanges on Monday. After the recent recovery rally, investors became more cautious. This ended a five-day winning streak. Cryptocurrencies in particular were a reflection of a global decline in willingness to take risks, while there are signs of a possible increase in key interest rates in Japan. The most significant loss was for the Dow Jones Industrial, which crossed the finish line 0.90 percent lower at 47,289.33 points. For the market-wide S&P 500 there was a discount of 0.53 percent to 6,812.63 points. The technology-heavy leading index NASDAQ 100, which was able to reduce its initially particularly significant losses, ended trading 0.36 percent lower.
ASIA: – UNUNIOR – The main stock markets in Asia did not show a consistent trend on Tuesday. While the Japanese leading index Nikkei 225 rose by 0.1 percent shortly before the end of trading after recent losses, the CSI 300 with the most important stocks on the Chinese mainland stock exchanges fell by 0.6 percent in late trading. Meanwhile, the Hang Seng Index (Hang Seng) of China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region stood still.
