FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - After a one-day break, the Dax resumed its record chase on Wednesday. In the first few minutes of trading, the leading German index reached its fifth high in six trading days. Most recently, it rose by 0.7 percent to 21,180 points. This means that the stock market year 2025, which is still young, has already seen a gain of 6.4 percent.
The Dow Jones Industrial in New York had extended its gains after the European close, and this is now giving the Dax a tailwind.
In the second German stock market series, the MDax rose by 0.3 percent to 26,037 points. The EuroStoxx 50, as a stock market barometer for the eurozone, also rose slightly at the start of trading./bek/jha/
