DAX gains, as no majority in France is announced

The DAX, Germany's benchmark stock index, is currently experiencing a bullish sentiment after a period of uncertainty surrounding the French elections. With concerns regarding a potential far-right victory easing up due to the recent parliamentary decision, investor confidence has received a boost. This positive shift is reflected in the DAX's price.

The DAX surged by more than 1% on Friday, however in the afternoon due to the Parliamentary elections in France on Sunday last week, traders traded cautiously, so the DAX closed with only 0.2% at 18,461 points. A weekly profit of 1.3% was noted however. In the afternoon, comments by Le Pen however took back the praise that most probably a majority will outcome will not be met, and that she warned of chaotic situations should a a mandate be given by the Government.
This result means that, for the first time in history, France finds itself in a situation in which no party has achieved an independent majority in parliament.

DAX- Technical Analysis

Technically the DAX could work off our predefined target, since the last days, DAX should continue its stabilisation dynamic, and could reach its 1st target of 18,665 which is the last trading high from last Friday.

Should the DAX be able to overcome this resistance, then 18,890 would become the second resistance which represents the all time high of the 15. May 2024.

Should the DAX decide to go in the opposite direction, then the Fridays low around the 18,418 would become the next support, which coincides with the EMA50. The next level would be the 18,267 level which is also the canter of the Bollinger bands.

Recently at 8:00 German time German Trade Balance (May) printed over expectations at 24.9B opposed to 22.2B last report. Giving further boost to the DAX price.

The Eurogroup report will come out at 13:00 which could produce further volatility.
