The stock markets are showing positivity despite current geopolitical uncertainties, particularly in the Middle East, during this trading week. Especially on US exchanges, technology stocks are reaching new record levels. In May 2025, tech stocks like Tesla rose by 22.8% and Nvidia by 24.1%; the “Magnificent Seven” index increased by over 13% during the same period. The Nasdaq index gained as much as 9.6% in May, marking the strongest month since the end of 2023. This development indicates significant profit potential – estimates suggest up to 76 percent.
Development in Europe
European stock markets also proved robust: May was the best stock market month there since 1990, with broad price gains of over six percent for the DAX, FTSE MIB, and IBEX. The positive sentiment is supported by a temporary easing in the trade conflict between the US and China, as well as slightly declining inflation data.
Outlook and Uncertainties
Despite this positive trend, the situation remains volatile and uncertain due to unresolved geopolitical conflicts and pending tariff negotiations between major economic partners like the US and the EU. Experts, therefore, expect continued fluctuations in the markets in the coming months.
In summary, despite global uncertainties, the stock markets are currently developing positively with strong momentum from the technology sector in the US, indicating high profit potential. The markets benefit from a combination of geopolitical easing in some areas and favorable economic conditions – but remain susceptible to further volatility due to open political issues.
