Interest rate prospects weigh on sentiment

Frankfurt European investors are likely to start the new stock exchange trading week sobered. While sentiment and market bias in Europe was positive until close, a skeptical view of the future prevailed again during US trade.

At the start of the week, this should overshadow the price gains on the European stock exchanges on Friday: the Euro Stoxx 50 had increased by around 2.5 percent. The Dax even managed 3.3 percent and thus the leap to 13,050 points, with shares in Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank and Siemens each becoming more expensive by more than five percent. Among other things, the assessment that Gazprom would send gas through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline again, which later turned out to be wrong, contributed to the good mood.
