The Dax climbed to a fresh all-time high on Friday, briefly touching 25,809 points to set a new record for the German benchmark index.

The move came shortly after the start of trading, extending the gains seen in previous sessions.

The German benchmark index benefited from a synchronized global rally, with strong performance on Wall Street and a clear shift in sentiment among European investors.

Political developments in Berlin appear to be a key driver of the renewed buying interest.

According to Handelsblatt, the domestic political landscape has sparked a wave of optimism among investors, who are increasingly viewing German equities as attractive.

This political clarity has helped to dispel some of the uncertainty that has weighed on the market in recent months, allowing the index to break through previous resistance levels.
