The DAX traded at 25,440.64 points at 1:53 p.m. CEST on October 6, 2026, up 0.74 percent from Monday's close of 25,254.21 points. The move followed lower oil prices, easing bond yields and gains in technology shares globally, according to wallstreetONLINE and Reuters.
Course of the session
The index opened at 25,390.75 points after Monday's close and reached an intraday high of 25,522.09 points and a low of 25,354.84 points, Finanzen.ch reported. The early advance kept the DAX above its opening level during afternoon trading.
Drivers of the day
Brent crude fell below USD 100 per barrel while German 10-year yields declined 5 basis points to 3.44 percent, according to Reuters. The retreat in energy prices and bond yields helped European equities extend gains after technology-led advances in the United States and Asia.
Monday's U.S. technology rally provided an additional cross-market cue. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.05 percent to a record close, while Nvidia rose 2.1 percent, according to Saxo.
Events ahead
U.S. weekly ADP employment data was scheduled for 2:15 p.m. CEST, followed by the August trade balance at 2:30 p.m. CEST, according to Deutsche Boerse. The releases were due while the DAX session was still under way.
