DAX hits record high following Fed Chair Warsh's inflation warnings
The German DAX index reached a new record high, peaking at approximately 26,619 points, driven by positive market sentiment and anticipation surrounding US monetary policy.
At the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole meeting, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled a readiness for tighter monetary policy. Warsh emphasized that the Federal Reserve must remain focused on price stability, stating that core inflation must approach the 2 percent target with sufficient speed. He noted that while recent economic data showed a slight cooling, the underlying inflationary trends remain a concern.
Market reactions to Warsh's remarks included a weakening of the Euro against the US Dollar. Despite the hawkish tone, the DAX saw gains, supported by falling oil prices and strong performance in the automotive and technology sectors, including companies like BMW and Nvidia. Investors are now closely monitoring upcoming central bank meetings in September.
