NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) - The US bank JPMorgan expects only a few changes for the next index review of the German stock exchange at the beginning of December. While everything should remain the same in the leading Dax index, analyst Pankaj Gupta expects a change of place in the mid-cap index below it, the MDax.

According to him, the industrial recycler Befesa will probably have to make way for the drug researcher Evotec. Befesa would then be relegated to the SDax, the index of smaller stocks. In the TecDax, Gupta expects that SMA Solar will have to make way for the internet service provider Ionos.

Deutsche Borse will review the indices of the Dax family (Dax, MDax, SDax and TecDax) on Wednesday, December 4, and announce any changes after the close of trading in the US. The changes will come into effect on Monday, December 23./ck/gl/nas
