DAX on the Brink? Signs Point to a Correction—But the Bulls Won't Give Up!
The German stock index appears to be on the verge of a major correction. Despite positive signals from the US, the DAX was unable to end its string of negative trading days and closed the week with a loss. While this might lead speculators to expect a significant sell-off, it's important to note that the index still looks remarkably stable. Drastic sell-offs are therefore unlikely. Investors appear undecided on whether to buy back in after the recent setback or to secure their profits.
Rheinmetall Defies Downturn—Infineon with a Price Shock: The DAX Market's Divide
The recent trading week reflected the market's ambivalence. The winners were Rheinmetall, Fresenius, and Sartorius. Rheinmetall, driven by the general trend of re-armament, rose by a strong 3.2 percent, while Fresenius gained 1.6 percent and Sartorius climbed 0.9 percent.
At the other end of the DAX list were the shares of Infineon, Porsche, and Adidas. Infineon was the black sheep of the DAX, losing 3.7 percent, while Porsche was the second-worst performer, losing 2.1 percent.
DAX- Are the Impulses for a Turnaround Missing?
The DAX is starting the new week burdened by a negative trading week. A quick trend reversal is unlikely, as the market lacks positive catalysts. On a national level, the current government also seems to be reaching its limits, similar to its predecessor, which provides no positive narrative for the stock market. This lack of clear, inspiring news creates an ideal environment for a larger correction. Investors will now wait to see if new fundamental data or geopolitical developments provide the necessary impulses to free the DAX from its uncertainty.
Will the DAX remain stable, or is a deeper correction on the horizon?
