Investors in the stock market seem tired of the price slide of the past few days.

After statements by Moderna boss Bancel on Wall Street the previous evening that he assumed that the current corona vaccines would probably not be as effective against the new omicron variant, it was already evident in Asia a little better.

The German stock exchange was happy to take up the proposal, but it is mainly supported by a clearly positive trend in futures contracts on the American stock market, which show an increase of one percent for the S&P 500 index.

In any case, the FAZ index, which covers the German market broadly with 100 values, gains 1.7 percent to 2709 points at lunchtime and thus recovers somewhat from the price losses since mid-November, which had totaled 4.5 percent by Tuesday.

The standard value index Dax increases 1.5 percent to 15,322 points.

This had lost around 7 percent by Tuesday.

Statements by Fed chairman Jerome Powell, according to which the US central bank's security purchases could be reduced faster than initially planned and inflation is now not transitory, were probably factored in, said market expert Andreas Lipkow from Comdirect.

The fund managers of the private bank Merck Finck see the Omikron shock as an entry opportunity, but investors should be selective when building positions.

In particular, stocks of cyclical companies such as Covestro or Volkswagen are in demand for their losses with premiums of more than 3 percent. Daimler are gaining similarly strong gains. The truck and bus business has been independent since this Wednesday. The IPO of the truck division is planned for December 10th. SAP gain 1.7 percent. A surprisingly weak outlook from competitor Salesforce for the current quarter did not have an additional negative effect.

The real estate group Adler Group, which is under severe pressure, is making further progress with its planned sale of shares.

The subsidiary Brack Capital Properties (BCP) is to go to the competitor LEG Immobilien.

This has already secured almost 31 percent.

The day before, the price of Adler shares fell by more than a fifth to a record low.

At an investor conference, the company did not allow any questions.

There was no news about the allegations of the short seller Fraser Perring, which unsettled investors.

On Wednesday the price will rise again by more than 20 percent.
