Winners and Losers in DAX KW 22
In calendar week 22 of the year 2025, the German stock market, particularly the DAX, was shaped by various influences that led to significant upward and downward movements among individual stocks. For private investors, these developments are particularly relevant.
The Xetra price values from May 23 to May 30, 2025, show a differentiated picture among the DAX stocks:
- Losers: The largest losses included Porsche Automobil Vz with a decrease of -3.78%, followed by Heidelberg Materials (-3.66%), Sartorius Vz (-2.72%), and Fresenius Medical Care St (-2.19%).
- Winners: The exact list of winners was not fully mentioned in the sources; however, it can be inferred from the context that despite some losses in the DAX, there was an overall positive sentiment.
Influencing Factors on Market Development
Several factors influenced the price movements:
- The DAX hit new highs, breaking the 24,000-point mark for the first time at the beginning of the week—a sign of sustained buying interest despite a rather weak economy in Germany.
- The uncertainty surrounding global trade conflicts persisted. In particular, tariff negotiations between the USA and other countries proceeded without any short-term breakthroughs; China remains a particularly difficult negotiating partner.
- In the USA, Donald Trump’s tactical backtracking in trade policy (“TACO-Trade”) sparked speculative buying impulses in the markets. This contributed to May ending as a strong month for stocks.
- The PCE inflation indicator for April was in line with expectations—neither positively nor negatively surprising—which, combined with falling US Treasury yields, supported a cautiously optimistic mood in the stock markets.
Conclusion for Private Investors
For investors, KW 22 marked a phase with mixed signals: While some large stocks like Porsche or Heidelberg Materials suffered significant losses, the overall market environment benefited from positive impulses from international trade and stable inflation data.
This dynamism underscores the importance of a diversified investment strategy and a keen eye on individual corporate developments within the DAX.
Additionally, it remains worthwhile to keep an eye on gold stocks—there were also interesting movements in the weekly review KW 22.
Overall, KW 22 was characterized by volatility, but also by phases of optimistic market sentiment despite global uncertainties.
