FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - After a weak start to the month, investors in the DAX seem to be taking a breather for now. Around two and a half hours before the start of trading on Xetra, broker IG valued the leading German index at 23,594 points, virtually unchanged in percentage terms.
The day before, the DAX, which had recovered so strongly at the end of November, had lost ground again. At one point, it had even slumped to 23,433 points. Ultimately, however, it managed to avoid the worst on the price chart and recovered above the round mark of 23,500 points and the simple 200-day line, an important trend barometer.
On Wall Street, the setback in the evening was more moderate, and in Asia, no clear trend emerged in the morning.
