Reported context

Written by sonar-pro

Recent reports say the DAX has been trading near record highs, with one update putting it above 26,300 after a run of gains and another saying it closed at 26,319 following a 0.69% rise. The coverage links the move to strength in names such as SAP, Scout24 and Infineon, while also noting weaker sessions for companies including Daimler Truck, Zalando and Allianz. Other reports say the index has risen in 11 of the past 14 trading days and remains close to its all-time closing high, although one live feed also showed a small intraday fall.

What these figures mean

Written by gpt-5.4-mini

The DAX rose 9.9% over the trailing year, and its price moved between 22,300.75 and 26,467.30, with the current price at 100% of the way from the low to the high. An annualised volatility of 15.9% means the price has typically moved around by a fairly noticeable amount over a year, rather than staying close to one level. The largest peak-to-trough fall of -12.3% means that, at one point in the period, the price dropped 12.3% from a previous high before later recovering.
