DAX 40

The index of Germany's 40 largest listed companies — Europe's economic barometer, and the underlying of the FDAX.

The DAX 40 (formerly DAX 30) gathers the largest caps of the Frankfurt exchange: SAP, Siemens, Airbus, Allianz… It reacts to European data (IFO, ZEW, German CPI, ECB decisions) in the morning, then syncs with US indices in the afternoon — two distinct session regimes that order flow reads very well. Its future, the FDAX, trades on Eurex.

Example

German CPI at 8am → the DAX 40 often sets its morning extreme within the first hour.
