The German DAX continued its early‑August surge, breaking the 26,000‑point barrier and closing near 26,001, the highest level since July. The rally was sparked by President Donald Trump’s announcement cancelling a planned large‑scale attack on Iran and opening new US‑Iran talks, which drove Brent crude down about 7 % to roughly $83 a barrel. Lower energy prices, together with strong quarterly earnings from technology firms such as Microsoft and Amazon, lifted equity markets. The DAX opened above 25,900 points, while the EuroStoxx 50 rose about 0.7 % and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained roughly 1 %. ~~Analysts linked~~ On August 1 the ~~advance to reduced risk of~~ market extended the advance: the DAX reached a ~~wider Middle‑East conflict, falling oil costs~~ record near 26,001 points, the MDAX rose about 1.4 % to above 32,400, and ~~continued momentum~~ the EuroStoxx 50 gained roughly 0.7 %. Market strategist Mislav Matejka noted that the earnings season was better than expected, reinforcing the upward momentum.

Near‑term drivers remain European PMI data, German retail‑sales figures, and any reversal in US‑Iran relations or a rebound in oil prices.
