At first, it looks like a sigh of relief on the stock markets. The DAX closed well above the 20,000 points on Tuesday with a gain of 2.48 percent, but the index had to give up again after hours and fell below 20,000 points again in the indication. This is expected to lead to a downward price gap today, Wednesday, and it is to be feared that this could trigger another panic attack. On the other hand, such a price gap can also be used by investors for cheap purchases. But caution is advised, because the weak US stock markets, which led to the renewed sell-off, were triggered by the announcement of the renewed tariff increase against China. The trade war that was just beginning has thus ignited the next level of escalation. Among the winners today, Tuesday, were the shares of Commerzbank with a gain of 6.27 percent, the securities of Heidelberg Materials AG with a price gain of 6.13 percent and the shares of the arms manufacturer Rheinmetall with a gain of 5.75 percent. The last three places on the list of losers were claimed by the automotive stocks of BMW with 2.09 percent, the shares of the Mercedes Benz Group and the securities of Daimler Truck Holding.
British stock index closes 2.7 percent up
The picture is similar for the FTSE 100. During the European trading day, the British was able to save itself with a plus of 2.7 percent. After hours with the weak US stock markets, the FTSE 100 also had to give up its gains in the indication. The top performers yesterday included the shares of Rolls Royce with a gain of 6.8 percent and the shares of BAE Systems with a gain of 4.6 percent Prozent.Es thus remains exciting on the stock markets and all eyes are on the showdown between the USA and China. How will China react and, above all, what will the US answer and how much damage must be done for reasonable negotiations to take place? These questions will determine the stock market climate in the coming days.
