MDAX closed on October 6, 2026 at 30,586.04 points, gaining 0.52 percent as European bond markets stabilized and eased pressure on equities, according to finanzen.ch.
Course of the session
The index opened at 30,540.54 points after closing at 30,426.98 points on October 5. It reached a session low of 30,462.86 points and a high of 30,760.49 points before ending in positive territory. The closing gain was 159.06 points from the previous session.
Drivers of the day
Global equity sentiment improved as oil prices declined and government bond yields retreated. German 10-year yields fell 4.6 basis points to 3.45 percent, while the spread between French and German 10-year yields narrowed after widening sharply in the previous week, Global Banking and Finance reported, citing Reuters.
The move followed a broader recovery in European stocks as investors looked toward the upcoming earnings season. The bond-market improvement helped support risk assets despite continuing concerns about elevated government borrowing costs and fiscal pressure in France.
What is still ahead
Germany will publish August industrial production on October 7 at 8:00 a.m. CEST. The forecast is for a 1.4 percent monthly increase after a 1.1 percent decline in July, according to Finobird. At 8:00 p.m. CEST, the Federal Reserve is scheduled to release minutes from its September meeting, with the timing listed by Admiral Markets.
