Bloodbath Stopped? DAX Brakes the Free Fall—Geopolitical Powder Keg Threatens to Explode!
The bears still have the DAX in a brutal chokehold! To kick off the new trading week, the German leading index once again had to swallow a painful minus of 0.58% down to 24,616.22 points. But there is a glaring glimmer of hope for unsettled investors: the merciless downward pressure has been massively decelerated! However, the absolutely toxic sword of Damocles remains the escalating powder keg in Iran. The panicked fear of brutally flaring inflation driven by exploding oil prices is currently nipping any rally fantasies in the bud. The fact that an open, fatal rift is now appearing in the powerful alliance between Israel and the U.S. is pouring even more massive amounts of fuel on the fire of global investor anxiety!
