The DAX index has breached its all-time high for a second consecutive session, cementing a bullish trend in German equities.

The benchmark index opened Friday’s trading at a record level, surging 0.9% to 25,809 points shortly after the opening bell.

This follows a similar milestone reached on Thursday, marking a sustained upward momentum rather than a fleeting intraday spike.

The rally is being fueled by broad-based economic optimism and a synchronized global equity upswing.

Strong performance on Wall Street has provided tailwinds for European markets, while improving sentiment regarding the German economy has bolstered investor confidence in domestic blue chips.

The index has benefited from a clear risk-on environment, with capital flowing into cyclical sectors that stand to gain from robust growth expectations.
