Germany’s DAX up 20% from September’s 2-year low
Germany’s DAX index climbed for a third straight session, hitting a level it last reached on June 9.
It is up 20% from the near two-year low it reached on Sept. 29.
German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall was among the top-performing European stocks Monday, up 8.2% in afternoon trading, after agreeing a takeover of Spain’s Expal systems.
The DAX saw among the biggest rallies as global markets cheered signs of cooling U.S. inflation last week, despite the U.S. Federal Reserve indicating further rate rises are still to come, and suggestions of weakness in the euro zone economy.
