DAX 
According to price developments on the futures markets, the Dax will start Wednesday with little change. On Tuesday, it had gained 0.4 percent to 20,016 points and closed above the 20,000 mark for the first time. Strategists cited the strong US economy and the prospect of falling interest rates in the USA and the eurozone in the long term as drivers.
At the same time, the unstable political situation in France continues to fray investors' nerves. The right-wing nationalist party Rassemblement National led by Marine Le Pen and the left-wing parliamentary group want to topple Prime Minister Michel Barnier on Wednesday with a motion of no confidence. Investors are also looking anxiously to South Korea, where President Yoon Suk Yeol has lifted the martial law he unexpectedly imposed after just a few hours. The opposition is calling on Yoon to resign or face impeachment proceedings.
From the USA, the US labor market data from private provider ADP is due, which should provide a foretaste of the official report on Friday. In addition, the Fed's economic report, the so-called Beige Book, will be published.
