GERMANY: - GAINS - The turbulent previous week on the global stock markets, which ultimately ended on a positive note, is likely to be followed by a further recovery in Germany on Monday. A good two hours before the Xetra start, the broker IG estimated the Dax at 17,801 points, up 0.44 percent. Measured against this, the Dax has already made up more than four and a half percent from its lowest level of around 17,025 points a week ago in February. Recession worries in the USA - one of the key triggers of the price slump just over a week ago - have recently eased somewhat. Important support levels in the Dax have held up recently, analyzed chart technology expert Martin Utschneider from Finanzethos on Monday morning. However, the general nervousness and uncertainty remains. Not all is "sunshine and roses".

USA: - SLIGHTLY UP - The US stock markets have ended a volatile week on a more or less sanguine note. The Dow Jones Industrial closed 0.13 percent firmer at 39,497.54 points on Friday. Thanks to the recovery from its lowest level since mid-June reached on Monday, the leading index contained its weekly loss to 0.6 percent. The broad market S&P 500 ultimately rose by 0.47 percent to 5,344.16 points on Friday. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 rose by 0.54 percent to 18,513.10 points, ultimately achieving a weekly gain of 0.4 percent.

ASIA: - LITTLE MOVEMENT; HOLIDAY IN TOKYO - The most important stock markets in Asia started the week with little movement. In Tokyo, where there was turbulence last week, there is no trading today due to a public holiday. The CSI 300, which includes the 300 most important shares on the Chinese mainland stock exchanges, gained 0.10 percent in late trading. The Hang Seng Index of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region also rose slightly.
