FX.co ★ DAX Lacks Clear Direction

The DAX in Frankfurt experienced slight fluctuations, alternating between small gains and losses, as investors paused to consolidate their positions after a robust four-day surge to record highs. The easing of tensions between the United States and China, highlighted by a temporary halt in tariff increases, combined with slower-than-expected U.S. inflation data, helped alleviate concerns about inflationary pressures and global growth slowdown. During this period, investors continued to pay close attention to forthcoming corporate earnings reports. Notably, E.ON rose by nearly 2%, leading the index, after it reaffirmed its full-year financial forecast.
