DAX going green is surprising

I appreciate what you’re saying. You’re probably 100% right. This feels like correction not organic price action. No? I agree whole heartedly with your complexity comment. I guess I can’t see anything that would point to things moving this way. Businesses haven’t changed their operating principles but the global oil supply is in a bottleneck with no signs of stopping. Why is oil falling mid day into close? Qqq climbed 3.5% from its low today. All tech red by full percentage points but somehow 5 of the top 10 holdings close 2% ahead or higher while talks of an ai bubble is on everyone’s tongue? I feel gross saying it but I’ve yet to see all signs point one way while the market moves, in a very calculated manner, opposite. The geopolitical backdrop, the inverted yield curve, strait closure, 7.5% jump in gas prices, DAX/Nikkei/Sensex all down, feb retail sales down, stagflation confirmed, transportation costs and logistics costs both surging, 4.4% unemployment, average of 3k jobs lost per day for 30 days straight, shrinking consumer confidence, hardship withdrawals from 401k’s are up 5% from last year, manufacturing PMI is shrinking, high corp debt servicing costs, cooling housing market, massive put-call skew, shrinking net liquidity. Again, personally- I’ve never seen every sign point to one outcome and have nothing come to pass. Have you ever seen this type of behavior?

not sure thats the whole story. europeans actually have lower capital gains taxes in a lot of countries, germany is 25% flat which beats US rates for anyone in the higher brackets. the real issue is that european banks spent decades pushing savings accounts and insurance products because thats where their commisions were. stocks werent in their interest to promote. also worth noting that US market returns have been so dominant that european investors who did get in mostly bought US equities anyway. i track market sentiment across different regions and the overlap between european retail investors and US tech holdings is massive now. the home bias that americans have just doesnt exist in europe because DAX returned like 60% over 10 years while the S&P did 180%+

>Stocks and investing have been part of American culture for years with a rich history  This isn't really true for your typical "Main Street" retail investor. 401k plans are only about 50 years old. Large corporations adopted it quickly but took some time for smaller companies. Investing in stocks was inaccessible for most retail until mid to late 1990's due to emergence of online/electronic brokerages. Before that, you'd have to phone your broker and fees were quite high, because there weren't any other options. Also, back then you had to buy a full block of (100) shares. There were no odd lots (something less than 100 shares), never mind fractionals. If a broker has a client investing in chucnks of $25k, $50k or $100k or $250k, do you think they will take any calls from people investing $200/500/1000/5000 at a time? Maybe, but you are last in line, assuming that amount can even buy a full lot. You also have to consider inflation. Some share prices might seem low back then, but dollars were not as common. The house I grew up in cost $50k USD in 1980. Today the same house is $900k. You could buy a can of soda at the vending machine for $0.20 or $0.25 in 1980; today maybe $1.50-2.50 depending on location. When all the online brokerages started, they'd all undercut the commissions per trade. It used to be $25, then $20, then $13.... $10, $5... to point they all became free. That's right, I used to pay $8-15 every time I bought or sold a stock. It's less than 10 years since those fees went to zero everywhere. As I live in the US, I am less familar LSE DAX CAC - but they are substantially smaller than the US markets, so probably less push to market services. But here in the US, it's just constant flow of IPO's since mid-late 70's. There is so much money flow and potential to market services.

No-Understanding2406

i think you're stretching the semiconductor angle pretty thin here. Taiwan has 60 days of reserves, which is actually a massive buffer. TSMC and CPC have been diversifying LNG sourcing since 2022 specifically because they know they're vulnerable. they have contracts with Australia, the US, and even some from Papua New Guinea. Qatar going offline doesn't mean Taiwan's lights shut off, it means they pay more for the same gas from different suppliers. the 2022 DRAM comparison doesn't really hold either. European manufacturers throttled because their spot gas costs went 10x overnight with zero hedging. TSMC runs on long-term contracts and has strategic reserves that European chemical plants never had. completely different risk profile. the real story nobody here wants to talk about is what happens to European industry again. BASF, Yara, all the heavy gas consumers that barely survived 2022 are about to get slammed when Asian buyers outbid Europe on every LNG cargo. that's where the actual equity risk is, not in some hypothetical scenario where TSMC runs out of gas in two months. the DAX is going to get destroyed way before anyone needs to worry about foundry shutdowns in Hsinchu.

Pleasant_Arugula7571

The $150 price target is not hyperbole if Ras Laffan stays offline. Qatar ships roughly 77 million tons of LNG per year. That facility accounts for about 30% of global LNG trade. European spot prices were already around 45 euros per MWh before this. If Qatar force majeure holds for 3-4 weeks, Asian buyers will outbid Europe for every available cargo by a wide margin, and we could see European TTF gas spike to 100+ euros/MWh. What most commentary is missing: this hits equities in ways beyond the obvious energy names. European industrial margin compression will be severe. BASF, for instance, shut two ammonia plants in 2022 when gas hit 70 euros/MWh. At 100+, you are looking at broad European manufacturing shutdowns. That flows directly into German DAX and Euro Stoxx earnings estimates, which have barely been revised down yet. For US investors watching from the sidelines: the USD safe-haven bid combined with the energy supply shock creates a stagflationary setup for Europe that historically has preceded significant dollar strength. That matters for anyone overweight international equities right now.

I got no experience in investing in stocks, but im planning to start pretty soon, so that ive been spending a lot of time now on absorbing stocks-related information to have a clue about it wenn i'll start. Throughout this time ive learnt a bunch of infos and materials, started analyzing stock markets of different countries and i understand much better the investment and financial framework. The stocks i really believe in are Deutsche Bank AG stocks, which cost today approximately 27 euros. This is one of the biggest banks in Germany, conceivably the biggest commercial one, which has a lot of kinds of services for its clients and bunch of really serious partners. According to some statistics this bank tends to be the number one in Germany and has a lot of advantages which attract germans very much. The stock's beta indicator for the last five years calculated euch month is lower than DAX40. Its like german SnP 500 in America. This means that bank is more safe and stable than the german stocks market itself. I think its gonna be the first share i'll invest my money in.

Software is confusing but BTC makes perfect sense. War = more devaluation of the $USD = all the commodities go up. BTC is kinda like a commodity so presumably it's all the money leaving indices like the DAX this week that is flowing into a number of commodities, of which BTC is one.

I keep the MSCI world and FTSE world and the Bigdata&AI, but I dont add to these. Just keep them. They grew from former saving plans. Now I build up DAX and EM ETFs. Also the FTSE100 would be of interest,the Nikkei and the Eurostoxx. I frequently do daytrading on those, and nearly every day I watch those indices at a whole - I observe that the Nasdaq and the SP500 are the weakest right now, the Nikkei the strongest, followed by EM.

I use AI to write Power BI DAX queries all the time. Sometimes it gets my intent right the first time, but after a few iterations, it usually nails it. I can see many jobs going away but in the software world, I foresee a need for more software architects and not just coders. OP, you are going to be fine so long as you start focusing on architecture.

“Berz provide liquidity” Pretty damn funny how that liquidity works when you compare short interest on an NYSE stock to DAX futes. And the dips in Dax coin side perfectly with DAX performance.

FTSE & CAC are up, DAX is slightly down.

FinishLineElectric

If it's in dollars, yes, for the same reason that a loaf of bread in Zimbabwe has gone up 17,000% in a week. It's not that the bread is worth more - it's that the currency is worth less. Dollar to Euro is down 15.33% over the last 1 year, while the S&P is up 16.38%. If you bought 100 Euros worth of S&P a year ago you'd have 101 Euros worth of S&P today. Conversely, the DAX (German stock market, but pretty much any EU stock exchange will do) is up 30.37% over the same period if you're transacting in dollars. Roughly half of that is the stock market increasing value and half is the dollar weakening.

TWSTrader

**Institutional background here (14 years).** This is the **"Retaliation Leg"** of the trade war algorithm. To answer your question: The market usually reacts to this type of news in three distinct phases. **Phase 1: The "Headline Algo" Shock (Pre-Market/Open)** * **Reaction:** Algos scan keywords: "Suspend," "Escalation," "Trade War." * **Result:** Futures gap down. The **DAX** (German Index) and **CAC** (French Index) will likely lead the drop, dragging US Futures with them. * **The Trade:** Expect an immediate spike in the **VIX** and a flight to the **Dollar (DXY)**. Paradoxically, bad news for US trade often pushes the Dollar *up* (Safety trade), which hurts US multi-nationals even more (FX headwinds). **Phase 2: The "Priced In" Calculation (Mid-Day)** * Institutional desks will ask: *"Does suspending this deal actually change cash flows Q1?"* * **The Reality:** A "suspended approval" is a political delay, not an economic tariff. It is a "Freeze," not a "Tax." * If the market already dumped \~2% on the Tariff threat (the "Rumor"), the suspension of the deal (the "News") might actually be the **Near-Term Bottom.** The market hates uncertainty. Knowing the deal is dead is "Certainty." **Phase 3: The Sector Rotation** Smart money won't just "sell everything." They will rotate. * **Sell:** US Multi-nationals with high European exposure (McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Apple, Tesla). If the EU retaliates, they target "Swing State" goods (Bourbon, Harleys) and Big Tech. * **Buy:** **Domestic US Small Caps (IWM)**. Why? A company that sells insulation in Ohio doesn't care if the EU suspends a trade deal. They are insulated from the Geopolitics. **My Take:** Watch the **EUR/USD** currency pair. * If the Euro *crashes* on this news, it means the market thinks Europe loses more than the US. * If the Euro *rallies*, it means the market thinks the EU has leverage. Don't panic sell into the headline. This is "Diplomatic Posturing" (The stick), not "Economic Destruction" (The stone). Not yet.

On MLK Day in 2008, world markets took a shit due to housing bubble. DAX down 7.2%, FTSE 100 down 5.5%, Nikkei down 3.9%. It was so bad that the next the Fed instituted an emergency *0.75%* interest rate cut before opening bell to catch the knife. Point is, when shit hits the fan, it's usually after a long weekend to build up sell pressure. Both Black Mondays, Lehman going under, and the COVID crash all happened after the weekend.

yeah but it's more because unusual circumstances with choosing Jan 2025 as a data point I'd say in 90% of the cases the DAX does not over perform the S&P500 S&P500 vs DAX 1 Month S&P 3.87% DAX 4.98% 3 Month S&P 5.58% DAX 4.10% **1 Year S&P 4% DAX 21%** **3 Year S&P 67% DAX 64%** 5 Year S&P 104% DAX 78% 25 Year S&P 733% DAX 277%

Why did the DAX do so well in 2012? In 2012, the German stock market was a top performer in Europe, with the DAX index increasing by approximately  **29.5%**. This strong performance was driven by export-oriented companies that benefited from global demand, despite the ongoing eurozone debt crisis.  Based on 2012 data, the following stocks and sectors performed particularly well: Top-Performing Sectors and Stocks **Chemicals:** **BASF** and **Bayer** were among the leading performers, driven by strong international business. **Industrial/Automotive:** **MAN SE** (a truckmaker) and **BMW** saw significant gains, reflecting the "export miracle" of German manufacturers. **Consumer Goods:** **Adidas AG** was highlighted as a top performer due to high revenue from outside Europe. **Financials:** **Allianz SE** and **Deutsche Bank** saw positive movement early in the year. **Industrial Services:** **Henkel AG** showed significant gains of 25% or more. **Other Notables:** **Siemens** performed well, with gains of over 14% at certain points in the year.  2012 Market Context **DAX Outperformance:** The DAX outperformed the Euro Stoxx 50 (which fell 2.9% in 2012) and significantly outperformed the S&P 500. **Export Strength:** Roughly 80% of revenues for DAX companies were generated outside of Germany, insulating them from European economic stagnation. **Resilience:** Despite a slight dip in GDP growth, German manufacturing orders rose sharply in late 2012, bolstering investor confidence.  ////////// Basically IG Farben took it to the bank in 2012 - BASF and Bayer **BASF** Despite challenging conditions in the basic chemicals market, BASF's Agricultural Solutions division saw a 12% rise in sales, and **oil/gas sales jumped 39%, largely due to the resumption of operations in Libya.** Rommel takes Libya for the win this time! \[Campaign Contributions: During the 2016 election cycle, BASF was identified among donors in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry that favored Hillary Clinton\] **Bayer** Booming Agricultural Sector: Bayer’s CropScience division experienced strong growth, with sales in **the seed-treatment product business rising 23.7%.** Pharmaceutical Sales Growth: Sales in the **pharmaceutical business increased**, with particular strength in the **United States and China**. The Ghost of Monsanto for the win, and Bayer Asprin plus though 15 years later BASF is in endless misery with lawsuits for all it's issues with Roundup pesticides and Cancer

Using that Curvo page for **DAX** vs **S&P 500** 2012 **32%** 16% 2013 31% 32% 2014 -10% **14%** 2015 -2% 1% 2016 3% **12%** 2017 **28%** 22% 2018 -22% **-4%** 2019 23% **31%** 2020 13% **18%** 2021 7% **29%** 2022 -17% -18% 2023 25% 26% 2024 12% **25%** you get about 7 fantastic years of the **S&P500** **and about 2 good years for the DAX** **er NYSE vs Frankfurt** ...... Overall with the **S&P500 vs DAX** New York wins 7/13 times Frankfurt wins 2/13 times as in one really excelling over the other over the long term The interesting question is what stocks in the DAX excelled so much in 2012

Is there a futures market for DAX, CAC, FTSE, etc.? Curious how they react!

Arsno

You guys are missing the big picture. The markets are reacting less (in the long-term) about risk on/off, or the future earnings power of stocks...the driving factor is that the ultrawealthy is getting exponentially richer and they need to park their money in any asset. This is why every stock market is at all time highs (S&P, Bovespa, Nikkei, IBEX, FTSE, DAX) while at the same time housing is at all time highs in NY, Rio, London, Madrid, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Montreal, Paris, Syndey, etc. and gold is at all time highs. And fine art markets. And expensive collectibles (from Rolexes to vintage cars). Every asset that the wealthy interact with. We have an asset price crisis because the ultrawealthy are not taxed at appropriate rates. This wealth transfer to the wealthy has been happening since governments of the world began decreasing tax rates in order to 'boost the economy' which instead all it's done is to transfer wealthy from the poor and from their governments to the ultrawealthy. And all of these asset markets will keep going higher so long as the wealth transfer remains in effect.

huh youre right Im way off on the DAX... thought I saw somewhere it had like a 0.2% growth, but I prob mixed that up with germanys GDP.

LaZyeaLoT

Well, that's just easily verifiable bullshit. DAX outperformed the S&P500 last year. You also have to consider the devaluation of the USD vs. EUR. If you invested you USD in the DAX (non-USD hedged) a few years ago you did not only profit of the outperformance of the Index but also of the strength of the EUR / weakness of the USD. The problem is also that the SP493 is mostly flat, only the Mag7 push the index in the first place. And this is solely driven by the AI bubble. We'll see how long this detachment from reality can go on. Same with Nikkei225. Yes, the Index ist up like 35% in a year, but you also have to consider that the JPY lost 15-20% of its value.

S&P500 in Euro = +4.5% YTD Nikei 400 = +12.5% Stoxx Euro 600 = +20.7% DAX (Germany) = +21.5% But apparently the European economy is being dragged down by its inefficient socialism and the overwhelming drain on the system from immigrants. We hear constantly from the US that Germany has the most sluggish and obsolete economy. That supporting Ukraine is a waste and it would be better if we just gave Putin what he wants so we can get cheap energy again to save our economy. That European countries would be better off with populist leaders who can do what they want. Apparently it's better to throw away almost a century of soft power, trash the reputation of your currency as a reserve, cancel research funding and randomly abduct foreigners so scientists and engineers leave, restrict trade with your closest trading partners, insult allies, publicly give head to dictators and commit random acts of war in international waters. Us Europoors have so much to learn.

It will be canceled dude, like all the empty promises your own administration makes every day. EU had a GDP growth of 1,5% in 2025, wouldnt call that stagnant still. DAX the german market is up 22% YTD, outperfoming SP500 by far.

I don’t other than with the longer put which is not a perfect hedge. I basically take the position that the DAX won’t drop X% in one week.
