GERMANY: – LOSSES – The Dax (DAX 40) should initially expand its slight losses on the previous day on Corpus Christi. The broker IG appraised the leading German index on Thursday around two and a half hours before the Xetra start 0.4 percent lower to 15,904 points. The day before, the Dax had once again got stuck at the chart hurdle of 16,000 points. Now there is a risk of a renewed test of the slightly rising 50-day line at currently 15,815 points. It is regarded as an indicator of the medium-term trend. In US trading, the last strong technology stocks in particular had a difficult time the previous evening. The Nasdaq selection index Nasdaq 100 came back significantly from its most recent high since April 2022. Rising bond yields had discouraged investors from investing in stocks. The market is banking on further increases in key interest rates – all the more so after the Bank of Canada surprised with an increase.
US: – TECH LOSSES – Investors cashed in on tech stocks in US stock markets midweek. Interest rate perspectives moved ahead of the Fed meetings in the US and the euro zone, which are due in the coming week, are again in focus, also because Canada’s central bank surprisingly raised the key interest rate. The NASDAQ 100 fell 1.75 percent to 14,303.29 points. The default values on Wall Street proved more robust. The Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) finished 0.27 percent higher at 33,665.02 points. The market-wide S&P 500, on the other hand, lost 0.38 percent to 4267.52 points.
ASIA: – MAINLY LOSSES – Uncertainty over central bank interest rate policy and rising bond yields weighed on most Asian stock markets on Thursday. Investors are apparently counting on further increases in key interest rates – all the more so after the Bank of Canada surprised them with an increase. In Tokyo, the leading Japanese index, the Nikkei 225, fell by 1.5 percent shortly before the end of trading. The Hang Seng index of the Chinese special administrative region of Hong Kong fell by half a percent, while the CSI 300 index (CSI 300) with the 300 most important values of the stock exchanges in Shenzhen and Shanghai was hardly changed. Australia also suffered losses, while the Indian stock market edged up slightly. The Indian stock market has been benefiting from inflows of money from foreign investors for a while, who are looking for more promising, emerging markets in view of China’s rather sluggish economic development.
