Current trend

The leading index of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange DAX 40 is correcting at 15648.0.

The German stock market continues to decline amid weak macroeconomic statistics and upward dynamics in the domestic bond market. Thus, according to the July report, the producer price index decreased by 1.1% after a decrease of 0.3% a month earlier, while the annual figure was -6.0% after 0.1% in the previous month. Business activity data will be published in Germany tomorrow: the indicator in the service sector may decrease from 52.3 points to 51.5 points, and in the manufacturing sector — from 38.8 points to 38.7 points.

The greatest pressure on the stock market is exerted by government bonds, which continue to grow actively: 2-year securities are traded at a rate of 3.090%, rising from 3.030% recorded last week, the rate on 10-year securities is 2.689% after 2.443% at the beginning of last week, and on 30-year ones – 2.779%, for the first time since 2014.

The growth leaders in the index are Continental AG ( 5.87%), Mtu Aero Engines Holding AG ( 1.54%), Commerzbank AG ( 1.49%), Airbus Group SE ( 1.11%).

Among the leaders of the decline are Vonovia SE (-2.61%), Sartorius AG (-1.81%), Siemens Energy AG (-1.75%).
