The DAX has reached a remarkable record level in recent days, surpassing the 24,000 point mark for the first time. This development is part of an impressive price rally that began after a so-called “Panic Monday” on April 7, 2025, when the DAX fell to 18,489 points. The rise of the DAX is particularly noteworthy as it occurs despite economic challenges and global uncertainties.
Background of the Price Rally
The price rally has been fueled by a combination of factors, including recovery from the panic selling following the announcement of new US tariffs by President Donald Trump on April 2, 2025. This announcement led to a global market crash, which is now considered one of the best buying opportunities in stock market history.
Current Market Development
On May 20, 2025, the DAX reached a new record high of up to 24,082 points. However, the following day, the DAX fell slightly below the 24,000 point mark, yet showed stability and managed to defend this mark until the end of trading. Investors are cautious as the DAX is technically considered “overbought,” which makes a reaction or correction possible.
Significance for Investors
The development of the DAX is of great significance for investors in the German-speaking regions. Since its low on “Panic Monday,” the index has gained about 30 percent, making it an attractive investment. The stability of the DAX despite global economic uncertainties shows that the German stock market continues to hold a strong position.
Outlook
In the coming days, the focus will be on whether the DAX can consistently hold the 24,000 point mark. A reaction or correction would not be surprising, as the DAX is considered overbought after its long rise. Nevertheless, the DAX remains an important indicator of the strength of the German stock market and continues to offer interesting opportunities for investors.
