DAX 
At the beginning of the week, the leading German index had gained just under one percent to 18,444 points. "After the market fell like a stone from its all-time high just below the 19,000 mark, the bears in Frankfurt have regained the upper hand for the time being," commented Konstantin Oldenburger, analyst at broker CMC Markets. However, there are doubts as to whether the rally will continue in the coming weeks.
Investors are focusing on fresh trade data from China. While exports from the People's Republic grew faster in August than at any time since March 2023, imports fell short of forecasts due to weak domestic demand.
Stock market participants are also looking to the other side of the Atlantic: with just under two months to go before the US presidential election, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are facing off in their first TV duel. "The impact of Trump's election on Europe could be quite severe in terms of tariffs and lack of cooperation," said Aoifinn Devitt, Head of Investment at London CIV.
