Dax continues the rally at the start of the year – signals for further rising prices are increasing

Dusseldorf The start of the year on the German stock market continues in the third week of trading. The Dax keeps its recent gains in the first hour of trading and is unchanged at 15,200 points.

This means that the leading index has already climbed more than nine percent in this stock market year. The rally’s high so far is 15,269 points, reached yesterday Tuesday.

Monetary policy is currently a driver for rising prices on the stock market. Investors are speculating that the European Central Bank (ECB) is only considering a rate hike of 25 basis points in February and March after raising key interest rates in the euro area by 50 basis points in December.

Until the meeting on March 16, however, there are guaranteed to be more rumors that say the opposite. However, the signals that the pace of interest rate hikes could be slowed down again regularly cause price movements to rise.
