US stock exchanges continue to move forward thanks to interest rate fantasy - DAX makes up for previous day's losses

According to a report from www.tagesschau.de, the US stock markets continue to move forward, driven by persistent interest rate fantasy. The rapid increase in the Dow Jones Index and the S&P 500 is also due to the prospect of falling interest rates in the medium term. This development was already expected last week after the meeting of the US Federal Reserve, where interest rate cuts were promised. The Federal Reserve has signaled a massive shift in policy, leading to a major rally in the market. Nevertheless, cautious optimism can be observed on the stock markets, as prices are high and moderate increases are sufficient to repeatedly set new record highs. The stock exchange in Germany was also able to take advantage of the New York Stock Exchange's Christmas rally and recorded profits. Overall, the hope of interest rate cuts in the USA and the Eurozone next year is keeping prices at a high level.

Hopes for interest rate cuts in the US and the Japanese central bank's ultra-loose monetary policy are having a positive impact on stock markets, while the euro is strengthening against the dollar. At the same time, oil prices have increased, primarily due to a tense situation in the Red Sea.

In addition to general market trends, specific company announcements also have an impact on the stock markets. Volkswagen's agreement with the works council on a billion-dollar savings program and the company's offer to initially pay the government purchase premium for electric cars itself are also reflected in market movements.

Overall, financial markets appear to continue to be influenced by expected interest rate cuts and corporate actions, resulting in generally positive sentiment and rising prices.
