DAX sensation: New record with 24,480 points – investors cheer!

What a day for the DAX! On July 9, 2025, the German stock index reached a new all-time high of24,480 pointsachieved and thus the previous record of24,479 points, which was marked on June 5, 2025. This impressive recovery of the DAX has been underway for several weeks and reflects the positive mood in the market. This year the DAX is already up by22.9 percentachieved, which underlines the optimism of investors.

But what is behind this change? A look at the current global situation shows that investors from the USA are increasingly withdrawing from the markets there due to the threat of tariffs and political uncertainty under the Trump administration. The proposed trade conflict between the USA and the EU as well as possible special tariffs on copper, pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are causing nervousness. Fortunately, the deadline for these new levies was recently postponed, removing some uncertainty from the market. The shareholder reports a certain calmness among investors who see an attractive risk-reward ratio in Europe. However, a setback remains more than possible, even if the upward trend remains intact.

Change in the shareholder structure

The return of US investors to the DAX is also interesting. A recent study by S&P Global Market Intelligence and DIRK – the German Investor Relations Association – has shown that the institutional free float of DAX 40 issuers is subject to change. While the DAX continued at a record price in 2024 despite economic uncertainties, the latest surveys show a slight withdrawal of investors from Europe and Great Britain. This development presents new challenges for investor relations, but at the same time it also holds potential for future growth. DIRK points out that the DAX remains on the radar screen, even if the ownership structure changes.

The future of the DAX

What is the forecast for the coming months? Analysts assume that by the end of 2025 the DAX will have a range between23,000 and 25,000 pointscould achieve, with a possible goal of25,000 points. In the long term, it is shown that the DAX will even rise until 203030,000 pointscould increase if the economic conditions are favorable. These assumptions are based on positive economic growth in the Eurozone and stable corporate profits. Rankia highlights that the DAX is more than just an index; it represents the 40 largest listed companies in Germany and covers around 80% of the market capitalization.

Given current economic indicators such as GDP growth and unemployment rates, as well as the ECB's interest rate policy, the DAX remains a key indicator for the German economy. However, investors should continue to keep their eyes and ears open as geopolitical tensions and interest rate policy could change quickly. But with a good market mood and a clear view of the opportunities, the DAX remains a hot potato that appeals to many investors. All that remains to be said is: this is how the stock market works!
