DAX Index Nears 24,000-Point Milestone Amid Positive Earnings and Monetary Support
As we move towards the latter half of August 2025, the DAX index is showing strong signs of approaching the 24,000-point mark. The index recently reached around 24,374 points and is trading near all-time highs, just over 100 points shy of its record peak (24,359 points as of August 15)[3][5].
The bullish momentum is evident as the index rebounded from support levels near 23,500 points and is potentially targeting resistance around 24,625 points[2][4]. Key factors supporting the DAX's progression include structural drivers, favourable monetary policy, a robust global context, and a positive earnings season.
Structural drivers such as macroeconomic resilience in Germany, sectoral shifts towards defensive sectors like utilities and pharma, industrial adaptation (electric vehicles, automation), and export benefits from a weakening euro are bolstering the DAX's growth[1]. The European Central Bank’s rate cuts and Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI) support have also stabilized the market, boosting investor confidence[1][3].
Despite geopolitical uncertainties such as the Ukraine crisis and ongoing trade tensions, DAX constituents’ international revenues (about 80%) provide a buffer. The ongoing EU-US trade dynamics have influenced this landscape indirectly by shaping macroeconomic conditions and trade confidence[3].
Corporate earnings are generally positive, with companies like Rheinmetall benefiting from increased defense spending and SAP from AI/cloud demand, contributing to gains in technology and defense sectors[3].
However, it is worth noting that there is a potential conflict of interest for Börsenmedien AG regarding Redcare Pharmacy N.V. and SUSS MicroTec SE, two companies that are currently under scrutiny[6].
In addition to the DAX, other companies investors should keep an eye on include Heidelberger Druck, Hypoport, Siltronic, and Teamviewer[7]. The ongoing earnings season is also a key focus for investors, with mixed but generally positive results[3].
Recent losses on Monday serve as a reminder of the market's volatility, but the overall trajectory remains positive in the near term[5]. The DAX's attempt to surpass the 24,000-point mark is a significant milestone that reflects the resilience and adaptability of the German economy.
