DAX Index

The DAX Index is a measure of the stock performance of 40 major companies listed on Germany’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It reflects how these companies’ stock prices are changing overall, serving as a barometer of Germany’s economic health. Investors and analysts use it to gauge market trends, make investment decisions, and understand the direction of the German economy. The DAX is market-capitalization-weighted, meaning larger companies have more influence on its value. It’s updated regularly during trading hours and is a key indicator in European finance.
