FRANKFURT / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – The DAX is under considerable pressure as uncertainties caused by the US banking crisis and the ongoing tariff dispute with China are weighing on the markets. Despite positive company developments, such as at Continental, the mood among investors remains tense. The recent losses in the DAX and MDAX reflect the nervousness caused by possible loan fraud cases in the USA.

The German stock markets are currently experiencing a turbulent phase characterized by a combination of international economic tensions and internal uncertainties. The DAX, the leading index of the German economy, recorded a decline of 1.82 percent and closed at 23,830.99 points. This development is primarily due to the ongoing banking crisis in the USA, which was triggered by possible loan fraud cases at regional banks. These events are reminiscent of the turbulence of spring 2023, when the bankruptcies of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank caused unrest around the world.
The uncertainties on the markets are further exacerbated by the ongoing tariff dispute between the USA and China. Although US President Donald Trump has signaled that current tariffs on imports are unsustainable, which has brought some relief, the long-term impact of these trade conflicts remains unclear. Analysts such as Jochen Stanzl from CMC Markets see the weak credit situation of US regional banks as a wake-up call for investors, while Martin Utschneider from Robomarkets remains optimistic that no dramatic development has yet occurred.
However, individual companies were able to develop positively. Continental recorded a share price increase of over eleven percent, which can be attributed to surprisingly strong quarterly figures. Volkswagen and Porsche AG also recorded slight increases in share price after management changes were announced. In contrast, banking and defense companies suffered losses. The shares of Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank fell noticeably, as did those of defense companies such as Renk, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt, which suffered losses due to profit-taking.
The EuroStoxx 50, another key European index, fell 0.79 percent, while Britain’s FTSE 100 and Switzerland’s SMI closed slightly in the red. In contrast, the US leading index Dow Jones Industrial rose slightly, indicating a differentiated perception of the economic risks. These developments demonstrate that international markets are currently being influenced by a variety of factors that could have both short- and long-term impacts on the global economy.
