The DAX has opened significantly higher following the Federal Reserve's delivery of its first interest rate hike since 2023. Although the Fed signaled further tightening, the market reaction was surprisingly positive, as much of the hawkish expectation had already been priced in. Attention now shifts to the 25,900–26,000 point range, which will likely determine whether the current recovery evolves into a new upward wave or remains merely a short-covering rally.

The DAX correction now has little to do with corporate news. Rising oil prices, higher bond yields, and the prospect of further interest rate hikes are dominating market activity. Following the strong US PPI report, all focus is now on today's US CPI. The figures could determine whether the current risk-off phase continues or whether the markets can launch a short-term relief rally.

Earnings season has taken a back seat for now. Instead, rising oil prices, higher bond yields, and renewed inflation concerns are shaping market sentiment. Brent crude is trading above $100 per barrel again, while the ECB is poised for another interest rate hike. Investors are now focusing on Christine Lagarde's press conference and today's US producer prices for clues about the future direction of interest rates on both sides of the Atlantic.

Following a weak handover from Asia, European markets and US indices were under pressure this morning, as rising oil prices and elevated bond yields once again weighed on risk appetite. Among the major European indices, the German DAX will be in firm focus this week, with the ECB’s rate decision coming up on Thursday. That decision is likely to be a hike, as rising oil prices threaten to re-accelerate inflation.

The DAX has fallen for three consecutive sessions after reaching a record high on 28 August. Rising oil prices and Bund yields are now challenging the rally, while German business confidence and manufacturing data offer a more constructive signal for the domestic economy.

The FTSE 100 enters the final trading session of August after falling 0.8% on Thursday. Oil, gilt yields and sterling remain critical for the index, but the bigger question is whether investors are underestimating the impact of global rate expectations as September approaches.

The DAX starts close to its record high. Nvidia, interest rates, oil and Jackson Hole are driving trading. Next week, inflation, PMIs and the US labor market will take center stage.

The German DAX record high is back in reach after four straight higher sessions, helped by cheaper energy and resilient eurozone data.

But the question, of course, is how much further oil prices and bond yields can fall. For now, the combination is supportive of risk assets and is helping to sustain a relatively benign decline in the dollar. The focus today will be on US core PCE inflation, due for release shortly, while Nvidia’s second-quarter earnings will provide another test for risk appetite after the US markets close – not just for US indices but for global tech-heavy indices given the influence Nvidia has over the global tech and AI names.
