Following initial gains, the DAX index experienced a decline on Thursday as the market’s early optimism over delayed EU tariffs was overshadowed by renewed concerns about trade. By the close of Xetra trading, the index was calculated at 23,933.23 points — a decrease of 0.44 percent compared to the previous day's close.
According to market observers, the Trump administration's court defeat did little to quell investors' concerns about a reversal in tariff policy. The U.S. government's lack of clear intention to undo the tariffs left investors with little hope for a full turnaround.
Notably, Porsche shares bucked the trend with gains of over one percent at the top of the DAX list, while Vonovia shares dipped over two percent at the bottom of the list, followed closely by Heidelberg Materials and Siemens. However, the specific performance of the index's top and bottom stocks on that day is not exhaustively detailed in the sources.
The sensitivity of the German stock market to trade policy developments and international economic news was highlighted in this session: early positive reactions often prove vulnerable to reversal if concerns persist.
Despite the DAX index's decline, financial analysts remain uncertain about the US tariff policy, as the Trump administration's inconsistent stance on the issue continues to contribute to investor anxiety. This highlights the strong impact finance-related events, such as trade policy changes, can have on the German stock market.
