No big surprises on the German stock exchange at the beginning of the second half of the year: the Dax followed the price movements on Wall Street.
Frankfurt / Main - The German stock market got off to a robust start in July.
After a fluctuating course, the Dax rose by 0.47 percent to 15,603.81 points on Thursday.
Although this was significantly less than the early day high, it was also able to make up for a brief fall into the red.
The MDax of the medium-sized stock market stocks rose by 0.60 percent to 34,254.50 points at the end.
With the slight price gains, the German stock market ultimately followed Wall Street, where the leading Dow Jones Industrial index started trading nicely. The Dax took another step towards the previous record of 15,802 points, to which only less than 100 points were missing in early trading. dpa
