The Dax increased on Tuesday after the long Easter weekend. However, the gains crumbled noticeably in the course of trading, after it had remained just below the recently reached highest level since January 2022 right from the start.
At the close of the market, the leading German index was up 0.37 percent to 15,655.17 points. The MDax of medium-sized stocks closed 0.92 percent higher at 27,449.84 points.
In Europe, too, profits melted off somewhat: the leading euro zone index, the EuroStoxx 50, ultimately claimed a price increase of 0.57 percent to 4333.29 points. Things also went up in Paris and London. In New York, the leading US index Dow Jones Industrial was 0.32 percent higher at the end of European trading, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 fell by 0.70 percent.
