The Dax shows its calm side on the last day of the shortened trading week before Easter. On Maundy Thursday, the leading German index rose by 0.14 percent to 15,541.57 points around noon. Two days ago, it hit a high since January 2022 at 15,736 points.
The MDax of medium-sized stocks rose by 0.50 percent to 27,106.85 points. The leading eurozone index, the EuroStoxx 50, was treading water.
US technology stocks had continued their course correction the previous evening, while the New York leading index Dow Jones Industrial continued to stagnate with a small plus in its recovery. US economic data had recently been disappointing, which dampened interest rate hike expectations. The focus is on the US government’s official labor market report on Good Friday, to which the markets can only react after Easter.
