Dax falls behind again – bleak prospects for Lira

Dusseldorf On the German stock market, investors retreat again at the end of the week. At the start of trading, the Dax fell by 0.4 percent to 13,620 points. On Thursday, the leading index rose by 0.5 percent to almost 13,700 points.

Overall, the risk appetite of market players is currently low. This is expressed, for example, in the still very low retail sales. In the current trading week, an average of less than 50 million shares were traded per day. This value is well below average.

However, assets that are considered safe cannot benefit from the strong risk aversion on the market. Investors also refrain from buying gold or German government bonds, for example. They simply keep their feet completely still.

This can still lead to larger price swings. In phases with little activity, only a few players are enough to move prices more.
