DAX Start in Shortened Trading Week Thanks to Trump’s Tariff Exemptions
The DAX is expected to start the shortened trading week on Monday significantly recovered. This positive development is boosted by the recent tariff exemptions from US President Donald Trump.
Background of the Tariff Exemptions
- Trump’s Tariff Policy: US President Donald Trump has recently suspended tariffs on certain electronics products such as smartphones and laptops. This measure could positively influence global trade as many large tech companies like Apple and Nvidia import parts from Asia.
- Market Reactions: The markets are reacting positively to this news. In particular, the Chinese Hang Seng Index experienced a significant increase of 2.2 percent in Asian trading.
Current DAX Development
- DAX Performance: The DAX has gained 3.46 percent since the beginning of the year 2025. The yearly high is at 23,476.01 points, and the yearly low is at 18,489.91 points.
- Trading Course: The DAX is moving within a trading range between 18,500 and 22,000 points.
- Current Rates: On Monday, the DAX is quoted at 20,716.79 points, after a previous rate of 20,802.42 points.
Economic and Political Factors
- Trade Policy: President Trump’s policy is leading to new economic cooperations. French President Macron supports the EU-Mercosur Agreement.
- Market Volatility: The VDAX-New is at 35.98%. A decrease in volatility could lead to rising rates.
Overall, the DAX could start stronger due to Trump’s tariff exemptions. However, uncertainty remains, and further trade policies could influence the course of trading.
