Stock market weighed: Israel attacks Iran
The German stock market was noticeably impacted on Friday following reports of a suspected Israeli attack on Iran. The leading index Dax fell by 0.94 percent to 17,670.34 points, heading for its third weekly loss in a row. The MDax of medium-sized stocks also lost one percent to 25,927.67 points, while the EuroStoxx 50 fell by 0.7 percent.
US media such as CNN, ABC News, MSNBC and Fox News reported unanimously on Israel's alleged attack on Iran. US officials said Israel conducted a military operation in Iran in which one or more missiles struck an Israeli target in Iran. So far there are no reports of possible damage, and neither Israel nor the US Department of Defense have commented.
Iran's state media rejected the reports of rocket attacks, saying it was not a widespread attack. This appears to have reassured investors as Iran tried to downplay the incidents. According to a US media report, Israel wanted to use the alleged air strike in Iran to show Tehran that it can also attack within the country.
Financial market expert Andreas Lipkow noted that investors are currently nervous about the situation in the Middle East and its possible impact on energy markets. Uncertainty in the region and potential further developments due to the suspected attack may continue to influence equity markets.
