DAX Finishes Higher, Still Posts Weekly Loss

2026-10-09 16:13 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Frankfurt's DAX 40 gained ground to close about 1.1% firmer at 25,102 on Friday, reversing a two-day decline that sent the index to the lowest in two months.

Investor sentiment improved after President Trump ruled out a US attack on Iran before the November midterm elections, citing progress in talks to end the conflict.

His remarks pushed oil prices lower and eased pressure on the bond market.

Meanwhile, caution prevailed amid persistent tensions in the Gulf.

Software giant SAP was the top performer, rising 3.8%, followed by Zalando (3.2%) and Bayer (3.2%).

Siemens, BMW, Deutsche Post and Adidas, Fresenius Medical Care and Siemens Energy also advanced firmly, each adding over 2%.

On the downside, Deutsche Telekom plunged nearly 8% as SpaceX’s spectrum acquisition raised concerns over increased competition for T-Mobile US, in which it holds a 54% stake.

For the week, the index lost about 0.5%.
