Dax climbs into positive territory after a weak start. In the afternoon, however, a moderate start to trading on Wall Street weighed on things.

Vonovia shares are under pressure, and Bitcoin is also falling significantly. The high level of interest rates has noticeably strained the situation on the real estate market because many housing companies are heavily financed by loans. Bitcoin recently fell again and moved away from its recently reached record high. The cryptocurrency was last quoted at around $67,000, around 9 percent lower than the day before.
