DAX reaches record high: Optimism after US customs dispute relief!

Frankreich - The DAX reached a record of 24,300 points on May 27, 2025 and closed at 24,226 points, which corresponds to an increase of 0.83%. The positive development was favored by the Wall Street, which led to an upswing after a holiday weekend. An important factor for the increase is the postponement of planned US criminal duties against the EU, which causes relief on the stock exchanges. This year the DAX has an increase of around 22%, while the US exchanges are in the minus. It is particularly gratifying that the MDAX has risen by 0.8% and has shown an increase of around 20% since the beginning of the year.

The billion -dollar investment program of the new federal government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz is seen as a central driver for positive market development. The SDAX also benefits from the planned investments, which increases the market mood. While the inflation rate in France decreased slightly in May and 0.6% - experts were expecting 0.9% - a decline in the inflation rate in the entire euro area is expected to 2.0% on June 3. The ECB will decide on a possible cut -off of 0.25 percentage points on June 5th.
