TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Recent German numbers have been lukewarm, as the eurozone’s largest economy is experiencing a slowdown. This has weighed on the euro, but the blue-chip DAX index shows no signs of slowing down. The index has soared in April, with gains of 6.7%. This is on track for the highest monthly gain since December 2016. On Wednesday, German Ifo Business Climate dipped to 99.2, shy of the estimate of 99.6 points. The indicator has softened since 2018, as weaker economic conditions have weighed on business confidence. Nonetheless, the DAX posted strong gains on Wednesday.
