DAX 40
Archived analysis from Aug 6, 2026, 5:21 AM
The DAX is trading at record territory above 26,000 on the back of strong Q2 earnings beats and a potential US-Iran Strait of Hormuz deal that could deflate the geopolitical risk premium embedded in energy costs for German industry.
DAX has broken out to successive all-time highs above the prior resistance at 25,923, with today's price of 26,199 recovering from Wednesday's profit-taking dip, supported by a robust Q2 earnings season and positive German macro data.
