Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - After two weaker trading days, the prices stabilized in the middle of the week.
According to market participants, however, the rapidly increasing numbers of corona infections in some countries stand in the way of a strong recovery.
The Dax was quoted on Wednesday in the first few minutes of trading with 0.31 percent up at 15,177 points.
In the past two days, the leading index had lost a good two percent.
The MDax of the medium-sized values advanced by 0.51 percent to 32,705 points.
Investors fear that rising numbers of infections could lead to further lockdowns and thereby delay the global economic recovery.
Some investors are also likely to cash in after the price rally of the past few months.
After all, the Dax had risen by around 13 percent to over 15,500 points since the beginning of the year.
