DAX experiences a technical rollback on Wednesday: it has grown by ~1%. Yesterday DAX dropped to 9100 points, which was a minimum since the middle of March 2014.
A few factors affected the decrease of the “Blue Chip” index.
One of the major factors was the escalation of the conflict and combat operations on the southeast of Ukraine. A possibility of bringing Russian troops to the Ukrainian territory scares market participants away from the investment in European equities.
Another factor that applied pressure on DAX is a decrease of the business expectations in Germany.
