Another day in the red for the DAX
The start to the new trading week was not successful for the German stock index. Once again, investors had to cope with a day in the red. The stock index closed with a minus of 0.41 percent at 20,132 points. On a positive note, the DAX is still able to hold the 20,000 points. At times yesterday it looked as if this would not succeed, but towards the end of the trading session, the index was able to rise again. A look at the US session shows that the US markets are gradually digesting the strong labour market report, as it was also clear on the US markets that after initial sell-offs, the situation stabilised and the losses were almost completely reversed. There still seems to be interest in the market.
Anxious look towards inflation figures
Investors are now already looking towards Wednesday, when the inflation rate is reported in the USA. Markets are already nervous about rate cuts, and rising inflation could further increase this nervousness. Furthermore, the inauguration of Donald Trump is getting closer and closer and there are already the first sharp warnings in the direction of Hamas. It seems that even the new president, who took office as a peacemaker, will also have certain difficulties with the tricky global crises. China and Russia will be watching closely to see how the US acts. Fluctuating markets can be the result.
Sartorius strong in a weak environment
Among the individual stocks, the shares of Sartorius and RWE were strong yesterday. Sartorius was able to gain 3.3 percent and it is striking that the share has increasingly taken the lead in the DAX in recent weeks. Word of Sartorius' stabilizing business seems to be spreading among investors, so that there is increased demand for the share. The performance is remarkable for the reason that it was able to put in a strong performance in an overall weak market environment.
