GERMANY: – SLIGHT LOSSES – The DAX continues to search for trends at its hurdle of 25,000 points. The broker IG estimated the German leading index to be slightly lower again on Friday around two and a half hours before the Xetra launch – down 0.3 percent to 24,947 points. Thanks to the strong start to the week due to the peace agreement in the Iran war, the weekly balance was recently at around one and a half percent, despite recently sluggish trading. Things on Wall Street picked up again on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve dampened sentiment in the middle of the week. This Friday, trading will be suspended there due to the holiday. However, the Asian stock exchanges did not pick up on the positive trend from the previous evening.
USA: – PROFITS – The US stock market turned to recovery on Thursday. In particular, economically sensitive technology stocks rose. Investors reacted with relief to the further fall in oil prices after the framework agreement between the USA and Iran to end the war in the Middle East was signed. The war had previously driven up oil prices and thus fueled fears of inflation. The Dow Jones Industrial gained 0.14 percent to 51,564.70 points. This Friday, trading is suspended due to the holiday.
ASIA: – LOSSES – Stock markets in Asia mostly fell on Friday. The Japanese leading index Nikkei 225 recently lost around 0.7 percent. Meanwhile, trade in China and Hong Kong was halted due to public holidays. There will also be no trading in the USA this Friday.
