2.4 percent Dax plus.

Because inflationary pressures in America are said to be easing.

The bear paw hit hard on Tuesday afternoon.

8.3 percent inflation in America in August.

More than expected.

And above all, the core inflation, which was previously considered the harmless sister of the main inflation inflated by expensive oil and gas, rose to 6.3 percent.

The bulls watched helplessly as more and more monetary policy observers joined the bears: Who bids more?

Fed rate hike next week 0.5 percent?

0.75 percent?

1 percent?

Vantage Towers was at the top of the buying list because Vodafone apparently wants to sell the majority of its cell tower company to the highest bidder.

Apparently a lot of interest is expected.

Financials were able to bask a little in the light of higher interest rates.

But the list of bear victims is much longer and ranges from the Kion forklifts to the state-dependent Uniper gas importer to Rational kitchens.

What can save the cops now?

As is well known, the night is at its darkest just before the sun rises.

Now one would only have to know when the darkest point on the stock exchanges has been reached.
