The German stock index (DAX) surged past the 25,000-point mark, closing at 25,278 with a 1.1 percent gain, driven by positive momentum from Wall Street. This breakthrough overcomes a significant resistance level that had been influenced by geopolitical tensions, interest rate uncertainty, AI disruption fears, and high valuations in the US tech sector. Analysts suggest this move improves the DAX's technical outlook and could bring its all-time high closer, while also noting a mid-term consolidation within an intact long-term uptrend. The oil price also saw a notable increase, with Brent crude rising approximately three percent to $69.37 per barrel, influenced by interrupted Russian oil supplies and ongoing Iran-US tensions.
