How is the trading DAX (GER40) with XM.
The DAX is a price-weighted index, which means that the weight of each company in the index is proportional to its stock price.
DAX (GER40)
The DAX, also known as the Deutscher Aktienindex or German Stock Index, is a stock market index that tracks the performance of 30 large publicly traded companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany. The index is widely considered to be a barometer of the overall health of the German stock market and is often used as a benchmark for the performance of mutual funds and other investment vehicles.
The DAX is a price-weighted index, which means that the weight of each company in the index is proportional to its stock price. The index is calculated by adding up the stock prices of the 30 companies and dividing the total by a divisor, which is adjusted to account for corporate actions such as stock splits and dividends.
The DAX is a popular choice for investors looking to gain exposure to a broad range of large, well-established companies in the German stock market. The index is highly diversified, covering a range of sectors including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, and financial services.
