The Dax fell further away from its record before Pentecost. A few minutes after the Xetra launch, the leading German index fell by 0.22 percent to 18,696.88 points. On Wednesday it reached a high of 18,892 points.
The US markets showed a slight downward trend: The most important indices in New York were ultimately unable to fully maintain their record levels after the US leading index Dow Jones Industrial exceeded the 40,000 point mark for the first time in its long history. There were no stronger impulses from Asia in the morning either. Economic data from China showed light and shadow.
The MDax of medium-sized stocks lost 0.44 percent to 27,387.37 points. The EuroStoxx 50, the leading barometer for the euro zone, fell by around 0.3 percent.
