The German stock market is holding mid-month gains and remains near its highs despite soft earnings from index constituents: DAX 40 quotes are correcting at 24,080.0, supported by macro data. In August, the expectations index rose from 90.8 to 91.6, and the business climate index improved from 88.6 to 89.0—still below the “green” zone above 100.0, but recent months point to gradual acceleration. Some sectors show negative signals: the GfK consumer climate index, a leading indicator of household spending, fell to –23.6 in August from –21.7 previously. In the bond market—supportive for risk appetite—yields remain in the “red” zone: the 10-year fell to 2.701% from 2.752% last week, and the 20-year to 3.188% from 3.234%.
