Dax slips over 100 points – the 14,440 point mark was too high a hurdle

Dusseldorf The German stock market is going down. The Dax slipped 0.8 percent in the morning and is trading at 14,266 points, down 110 points. Yesterday, Tuesday, the leading index closed 0.46 percent up at 14,378 points.

However, the Russian-made missile that landed in Poland has no effect whatsoever on regular trading on the stock market, because the information currently available indicates that it was a defensive missile fired in Ukraine and there is therefore no threat of an escalation of the war.

However, the first reports from Tuesday evening about the rocket fire had caused the Dax to slip by around 250 points to 14,125 points after the trading day. The index was then able to recover quickly. The nervous reaction of the leading index reminded some investors of the political and economic risks that the war still entails.
