The contrast couldn't be greater. In a current study, DZ Bank robs Germans of all hope that there could soon be noticeable corona easing. Germany will probably have to remain in lockdown until Easter. In the same study, however, the bank predicts that the German share index (Dax) will rise to 15,000 points this year. That is a forecast increase of no less than 1000 points. And the Dax is already on its way. On Monday it reached a record high of 14,169 points. The stock market barometer had never been so high in its 34-year history. An increase to 15,000 meters would mean a further plus of a good six percent. Experts can easily explain the successive upward adjustment of the forecasts. And even more important: investors can benefit from it.
