Dax rises to a record high – again over 17,000 points. Strong numbers from tech companies and the hope of falling interest rates are considered drivers.

Dax has just exceeded its old record high from mid-December. At 17,004.55 points, the leading German index rose higher than ever before. The old record from December 2023 was just slightly lower at 17,003.28 points. The New York stock exchanges had risen the day before. Figures from large tech companies boosted the trend there after the trading session.
