DAX Closes Higher

2026-09-21 16:32 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Frankfurt's DAX 40 extended early gains to close about 1.1% firmer at 25,575 on Monday, supported by lower oil prices and easing bond yields amid hopes of a diplomatic resolution to the Middle East conflict.

Sentiment was also lifted by constructive US-China talks ahead of this week’s Trump-Xi summit.

The discussions are expected to include AI, which boosted technology stocks such as Infineon Technologies (+4.2%).

Other top gainers included Siemens (+3.5%), MTU Aero Engines (+3%), Commerzbank (+2.8%) and Deutsche Post (+2.5%).

On the downside, Volkswagen fell 1.8% after being removed from the EURO STOXX 50 for the first time in 15 years, while a profit warning added to the pressure. Meanwhile, traders digested the results of elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin, where parties on the right and left gained ground, raising pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his reform plans.
