Dax Anticipates Slight Dip Amid Trump Tariff Talks And New Chancellor Merz

The Dax is expected to slightly decrease, with the broker IG forecasting a 0.15 percent drop to 23,010 points. Investors are awaiting positive outcomes from global negotiations regarding tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York recently ended its nine-day winning streak, mirroring the Dax's own extended period of gains. Commerzbank suggests that Trump is likely to live up to his reputation as a "dealmaker." They recommend viewing significant pullbacks in risk assets as investment opportunities. However, they also acknowledge considerable remaining risks concerning the strength of the U.S. economy. Friedrich Merz's election as the new German Chancellor is also a focal point. His extensive investment package is considered a key factor in the Dax's recent record-breaking potential. The German earnings season is in full swing, featuring reports from companies like Zalando, FMC, Continental, and MTU.
