Dax today & up to date: Index development and prices up to date

Munich On Friday, the German stock market was able to make up for some of its daily losses, which were significant in some cases. At the close of trading, the Dax was up 0.2 percent at 14,413 points. The so-called Witches’ Sabbath, also known as the big day of expiry, caused increased tension in the first few hours of trading. Options and futures on indices and individual stocks expire.

In the meantime, the German market barometer was down around 1.7 percent. Large investors in particular reacted nervously before turning to other topics again around noon as the expiry expired. From then on, the effects of the Ukraine war in particular determined trade again. But there, too, reticence was omnipresent.

Because there is still no sign of a solution to the war in Ukraine, many investors no longer wanted to take any high risks before the weekend. Especially since the Dax has already gained around five percent in value this week – this is the highest weekly gain in a year and a half.
