Dax is back on the 14,000 point mark

Dusseldorf The leading German index is aiming upwards again on Wednesday. However, the course of trading showed that the round mark of 14,000 points was not easy to overcome. The Dax is now trading at 14,015 points in the afternoon, an increase of 0.9 percent or the equivalent of 139 points. The daily high is 14,020 points and thus the highest level since the price slide on Thursday last week in the course of the ECB interest rate decision.

With the recent price gains, the stock market has coped well with the Japanese interest rate shock. The European and US indices quickly recovered from the initial strain.

Already on Tuesday, the Dax made up 140 points after the price slide at the start of trading and ended trading at 13,884 points, a minus of only 0.4 percent. The industry-heavy Dow Jones index in the US even closed 0.3 percent higher.
