DAX Hit 3-Month Highs

2026-05-25 07:43 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Frankfurt's DAX 40 rose 0.7% to cross the 25,000 mark on Monday, the highest since late February, buoyed by signs that the US and Iran were moving closer to reach an agreement that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump said negotiations between the United States and Iran are “proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner,” stressing that both sides “must take their time and get it right as that there can be no mistakes.” This prompted a sharp decline in oil prices, easing concerns about inflation and a global economic slowdown.

Most sectors traded higher, led by energy-sensitive industrials and banks.

MTU Aero Engines led the way, climbing nearly 6%, followed by Heidelberg Materials, Continental, Airbus, Siemens and Siemens Energy, with gains between 2%-3%.

Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank rose 1.7% and 1.6%, respectively.

DAX Finishes at Over 2-Week High

On the data front, German consumer sentiment improved slightly heading into June, defying expectations of a further decline, as did business sentiment, despite remaining near multi-year lows. Infineon Technologies led gains among stocks, surging over 7%. Deutsche Post (+3.9%) also saw strong buying after Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to “buy” from “hold.”. Puma and Adidas advanced 5.9% and 2.4%, respectively, following strong results from US rival Deckers Outdoor, with World Cup expectations also playing a role. Top losers included Vonovia (-5.3%) and Fresenius Medical Care (-3.9%). For the week, the index advanced roughly 4%.
