No significant market-moving news for DAX 40 in the past 24 hours.

Over the past two years, the DAX 40 has outperformed the European index by 15% between July 2024 and July 2025. However, since then, the German index has stalled, giving up two-thirds of its superior performance. This slowdown is primarily due to concerns about the strength of global demand, the appreciation of the euro, which is hindering competitiveness, the impact of US tariffs on selling prices, and rising interest rates, which are making financing more expensive for companies. For all these reasons, the valuation of the DAX has declined and is currently attractive. In fact, the DAX's forward P/E ratio is now at a slight discount, at 15.x compared to 16.2x for the Euro Stoxx 50. This discount on the future P/E ratio is also influenced by the fact that analysts expect growth for the DAX index to be +13.25% next year, compared to +11.0% for the Euro Stoxx 50, which is 20% higher.
