Dax makes up for losses from the previous day

Dusseldorf The ups and downs around the 14,000 point mark are becoming a habit on the German stock market. On Tuesday, the Dax will rise above the said level again and will significantly expand its gains over the course of the year. In the morning, the leading index is 1.5 percent higher at 14,181 points.

On Monday, the Frankfurt barometer lost 0.45 percent. The trading volume was far below the average of the previous trading days. So a few players were enough to keep the Dax in the loss zone.

Put from another perspective: Investors are waiting for positive news, a kind of trigger for new price gains. “Urgently positive economic or technical chart arguments are needed to lure investors back into shares,” says Thomas Altmann from asset manager QC Partners. “Buyers are still in short supply.”
