German Stock Market Today, December 4, 2025: DAX Climbs on Auto Rally and Fed Cut Hopes but Still Fails to Clear 24,000
The DAX rose 0.8% to 23,877 in late morning trading Thursday, its highest in several sessions but still below the 24,000 mark for a third week. Gains were driven by optimism over possible U.S. rate cuts and a surge in European auto stocks after a bullish sector call. The MDAX, TecDAX, and SDAX also advanced. Mercedes-Benz and Porsche SE led sector gains.
