FX.co ★ DAX Attempts Recovery

The DAX 40 climbed 0.5% on Thursday to move back above the 25,000 mark, recovering part of the sharp losses from the previous session. The rebound was largely driven by technology shares after reports that China plans to allow its leading artificial intelligence firms to purchase a limited number of Nvidia’s H200 AI chips. Infineon Technologies rose 3.1%, while AI-related infrastructure names such as Siemens, Siemens Energy and Hochtief also posted solid gains. At the same time, investors continued to monitor ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, where hopes for de-escalation faded following renewed strikes by both the US and Iran.
