Font size

World politics is currently determining what is happening on the stock markets. There were new talks between representatives of the USA and Iran on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Oil prices then continued to fall slightly. Brent crude oil was recently quoted below $99 per barrel.

In this environment, the DAX could start the day slightly higher. Initial indications see it around 0.4 percent above its closing level on Tuesday. The day before, the leading German index had closed little changed at 25,578 points.

According to US President Donald Trump, the delegations have agreed to have another conversation “in the very near future.” During his speech to the UN heads of state and government, Trump said that he believed an agreement with Iran was possible after the congressional elections on November 3rd. At the same time, however, he threatened the “destruction” of the Islamic Republic.

Market participants are now also looking hopefully to Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington, which begins this evening. They are counting on an extension of the customs moratorium, which expires at the beginning of November. On the other hand, there could be important agreements on trading in raw materials as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors.

There was reluctance on the Chinese stock exchanges before the meeting. The Shanghai SSE 100 fell slightly. In South Korea, on the other hand, the AI ​​rally continues with slight gains. The Tokyo Stock Exchange was closed today for a public holiday.

The stock exchanges in New York also had mixed trends. The standard stocks on the Dow Jones lost 0.4 percent, while technology stocks on the Nasdaq gained half a percent. The Nasdaq 100 reached a new record high for the first time since June. The technology rally continues to be fueled by strong demand for new AI apps from Meta and Google.

Vonovia boss Mucic sees no majority in favor of expropriating large housing companies after the Berlin election

After the Left's election victory in Berlin, Vonovia boss Luka Mucic referred to an Infratest-dimap survey, according to which 51 percent of Berliners voted against the expropriation of private housing companies. Instead, he calls for more new construction, reliable framework conditions and cooperation. However, experts continue to see hurdles to possible socialization, including coalition formation and possible federal laws. The Vonovia share initially showed losses, but partially recovered.

German family businesses are increasingly opening up to external capital and professional structures

German family businesses are increasingly abandoning their traditional principles such as family ownership and conservative financing to accept external capital and professional structures. According to research, the share of financial investors in ownership changes in family businesses rose from less than ten percent in 2018 to almost a quarter in 2025, driven by external pressure and the need for modernization.

Building interest rates rise to over four percent - buyers have to dig deeper into their pockets

The building interest rates for ten-year loans are currently just under 4.2 percent, compared to 3.4 percent a year ago. This increase puts a considerable burden on property buyers: with financing of 300,000 euros, this means an additional monthly burden of 250 euros. At the same time, banks are tightening credit standards, especially for energy-inefficient properties, while follow-up financing is becoming more expensive - forward loans offer an option, but carry surcharges.
