ZUG (dpa-AFX) - A turnaround in the Dax: Thanks to a significant increase in its valuation on the stock market, the armaments group and automotive supplier Rheinmetall has arrived at the top of the stock market league. Since the start of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, the company's share price has risen about one and a half times. The dialysis specialist FMC, which will be listed in the MDax, the index for medium-sized companies, will have to vacate its place in the index as of this Monday. Both had been expected by experts.

With the arms company Hensoldt, which is moving up from the SDax index of smaller stocks to the MDax, another arms company is benefiting from the change in times. The technology company Jenoptik will move up a league with him.

The biofuel manufacturer Verbio and Software AG will have to vacate their places and will be relegated to the SDax, the index for smaller stocks. The insurer Wüstenrot & Württembergische (Wüstenrot & Württembergische) will also be listed there, and Südzucker subsidiary and bioethanol producer Cropenergies will have to leave the index.

Index changes are particularly important for funds that replicate indices in real terms (physically replicating ETFs). These funds must then be rebalanced and rebalanced accordingly, which can have an impact on share prices./he/he
