The Frankfurt stock exchange is increasing in value: US Federal Reserve makes investors optimistic - market analysis and outlook

The Frankfurt stock exchange started positively on Thursday and increased in value by midday. This increase is mainly justified by statements from US central bankers that reduce the risk of interest rate rises. However, a sustained trend reversal is still required.

According to a report by www.hasepost.de The Dax gained around 0.7 percent around 12:30 p.m. and reached around 15,565 points. The biggest gains were made by Fresenius, Siemens Energy and Heidelberg Materials, while banks posted losses.

Market expert Andreas Lipkow explained the increase by saying that market participants are currently pricing out the risk of a rise in interest rates from the stock markets and see the probability of an interest rate top as given in both Europe and the USA. The statements from US central bankers have eased the pressure on stocks and are enabling the current price increases. However, a lasting trend reversal remains to be seen.

Lipkow also emphasized that not only the interest rate issue, but also further economic developments in the USA and Europe are bringing momentum to share prices. If this development does not materialize soon or there is a threat of a recession in the USA, the overall picture could deteriorate again and the stock markets could fall again. He also looked at the beginning of the reporting season for US companies, which will be able to provide information on further developments from tomorrow.

In terms of currency, the euro remained largely stable at $1.0625 at midday on Thursday. The price of oil, however, rose significantly to $86.74 per barrel of North Sea Brent. This corresponds to an increase of 92 cents or 1.1 percent.

Overall, these facts show that the current statements of the US central bankers and the development of the economy are important influencing factors for the stock market and the financial industry. A rise in interest rates could reduce risk for stocks, while a weaker economy or a recession could have a negative impact. It remains to be seen how these factors will develop in the coming weeks and months and what impact they will have on the market.
