DAX set for slight rebound at start of week – Ifo index due at 10:00
After a losing week, the DAX is indicated 0.2% higher at 25,238 points before the open. Oil is cheaper and Asia is mixed. The Ifo business climate index is due at 10:00.
Germany's benchmark DAX (its 40 largest listed companies) looks set to steady after last week's losses. Broker IG indicated it 0.2% higher at 25,238 points about two and a half hours before Xetra trading began (dpa-AFX). On Friday the DAX closed at 25,181.65 points (−0.75%), down 1.7% on the week.
Cheaper oil helps: Brent cost $115.19 a barrel early on Monday, down 1.3% (AFP). Asia was mixed: the Nikkei fell 0.26%, the Hang Seng rose 0.59% (finanzen.net). The euro stood at $1.1223 (AFP). Doubts over whether billions spent on artificial intelligence will pay off soon, and higher interest rates, still weigh (dpa-AFX).
At 10:00 the Ifo institute publishes its business climate index (a gauge of mood in German firms); forecasters expect 90.1 points after 89.9 (Dow Jones). US telecom group Verizon reports at 12:00. Austria has a public holiday, so the Vienna exchange is closed. Later this week come the Fed (Wednesday), the ECB (Thursday) and German GDP on Friday.
Weekend news: Audi plans a $4 billion plant in the US state of Georgia to build 200,000 SUVs a year. Britain's Frasers Group said late on Friday it now holds 50.08% of Hugo Boss, a majority (dpa-AFX). Wage talks between VW and the IG Metall union start on 24 November; the union wants a 5% pay rise (nachrichten.at).
