Go then! At the end of another turbulent week, strong US stock markets gave the DAX a boost. In the US, for example, new home sales have surged after the recent downturn, somewhat lifting investor sentiment. But a look at individual stocks shows that the situation remains very volatile.
After the latest jump, Germany’s leading index rose 1.59 percent to 13,118 points, almost making up for the week’s losses. On Friday, the MDAX rose by 1.71 percent to 26,952 points. The German stock market coped well with weak sentiment data from the German economy and a profit warning from Zalando.

The Dax has lost almost eleven percent since its temporary high in early June. However, Halver also points out: “There is a lot of money waiting on the sidelines, which, when the outlook improves, immediately dares to return to the stock markets and ensure price stabilization,” adds Halver.

Lots of volatility in both directions – typical bear market! A real, completely clear signal cannot be given either from a technical chart or from a news point of view. After all: 13,000 points on the DAX was not undermined, at least at the end of the week. However, US stock markets did much better last week. The DAX is down slightly on a weekly basis, while the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P are expected to close a few percent higher.
