While the index in Xetra trading remained below Monday's record highs, after-hours trading ensured that new records are likely to fall today, Wednesday. The stock markets continue to celebrate Donald Trump's inauguration on the European stock markets and especially on the US markets. As a businessman, Donald Trump is already blowing the AI horn and wants to expand this boom further, which is particularly pleasing for investors in both technology stocks and the broad S&P 500. In addition, the Europeans are initially relieved that the feared tariffs will not come for the time being or that other regions and countries will play a more important role for Donald Trump and his administration.
Are the stock markets facing increased volatility
It should be interesting when the first reliable interviews and information from the new administration run through the channels and the cornerstones of the new US policy become clearer. The markets seem to be euphoric now, which also brings dangers with it. In such phases, pinpricks are often enough to cause the inflated structure to fizzle out. This potentially imminent volatility seems to be the biggest danger in the predominantly positive markets at the moment.
The Siemens Energy share continues to rise and fall, making up for its previous day's losses yesterday and up 3.3 percent at the end of the trading day. The stock thus continues to zigzag and an upward breakout may be imminent. Shares of Siemens Healthineers followed in second place yesterday, Tuesday, with a gain of 3.2 percent.
European stock markets
