The Dax climbed above the 26,000-point threshold for the first time in its history on Monday, marking a significant milestone for the German equity market.
The benchmark index gained 1.5% during the session, fueled by a broadening of buying interest across European markets.
This move erased the previous record set in early July, signaling renewed investor confidence despite lingering global uncertainties.
The rally was primarily driven by two key factors: growing speculation that the Iran conflict may be nearing an end, and a synchronized recovery in the US technology sector.
Investors appear to be pricing in a potential de-escalation of geopolitical risks, which has historically weighed heavily on energy and industrial stocks.
Simultaneously, strength in Wall Street’s tech giants provided a tailwind for European counterparts, reinforcing the global risk-on sentiment.
