Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - The German stock market continued its record run on Friday.

At the start of trading, the Dax effortlessly jumped the 14,100 point mark after overcoming the 14,000 point hurdle the day before.

The German benchmark index recently gained 0.83 percent to 14,083.74 points in early trading.

With a current plus of 2.7 percent for the entire week, the Dax is heading for a strong start to the year.

As in the USA and Asia, hope is based on even more extensive economic aid in the United States and the global corona vaccination campaigns.

Positive data from domestic industry also contributed to the positive mood.

After strong incoming orders in November, the data on industrial production turned out better than analysts had expected.

For the leading Eurozone index EuroStoxx 50 it rose by 0.75 percent to 3649.44 points.
