In the morning, the leading German index rose by 1.3 percent to 14,144 points.

The M-Dax for medium-sized companies rose by 1.4 percent to 29,340 points.

The euro area leading index Euro Stoxx 50 gained 1.6 percent to 3743 points.

In Asia, there were price gains in the morning, especially in Hong Kong because of the hope that China would relax the corona virus.

The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite had lost 1.2 percent to 11,663 points, but gained more significantly on Friday.

In the afternoon, the focus will be on new American economic data.

On the other hand, the experts at Landesbank Helaba are not expecting any harsh mood dampeners from retail sales and industrial production data from the USA.

Daimler truck with good figures

In addition, some companies presented business figures.

The truck manufacturer Daimler Truck was able to unexpectedly absorb the burdens in the first quarter thanks to price increases.

Business is going so well that the group has raised its annual sales targets despite delivery problems and cost increases and therefore sees better prospects for earnings.

With a price increase of around 5 percent at times to a good 28 euros, the shares were among the biggest Dax winners and also marked their highest level since the end of February.

From the M-Dax of medium-sized German companies, Grand City Properties reported an increase in operating earnings (FFO1) for the start of the year.

The residential real estate group is aiming for further growth for the year.

Nevertheless, the shares lost more than one and a half percent, taking one of the bottom places in the MDax.

The shares of the industry colleague Adler Group from the SDax small-cap index temporarily lost almost 2 percent, later showed little change.

After the company, which was faced with serious allegations, had to write down Consus Real Estate last year, the Consus subsidiary is now threatened with the same fate.

Adler said they are aware of their responsibility as the majority shareholder and are fundamentally willing to support measures to strengthen Consus' equity.

A dealer said the news, while not entirely surprising, was still negative.

The Hornbach Holding stocks, which have recently recovered significantly, were initially down one percent according to the final figures, but the trend later improved here too.

The company is becoming more cautious after a successful year.

Hornbach, with its hardware store chain, is one of the Corona beneficiaries: During the lockdowns, people rediscovered their homes, so that a trend to beautify and renew your own home developed during the Corona years.

The group also benefited from the consistently high demand in the 2021/22 financial year (as of the end of February), as had already become known when the key figures were presented in mid-March.
