flag German stocks rose on optimism over U.S. rate cuts and strong AI demand, despite government shutdown.

flag The DAX opened slightly higher on Monday, nearing 24,400 points, boosted by optimism over potential U.S. interest rate cuts and strong demand for AI-related stocks. flag Despite the U.S. government shutdown halting key economic data releases, German markets showed resilience, with the index up over 20% year-to-date and approaching its July record high. flag Positive sentiment was supported by Japan’s economic signals and the high valuation of OpenAI, benefiting tech and semiconductor firms. flag However, market activity remained subdued as investors awaited clearer signals, with analysts noting the shutdown may indirectly pressure the Fed toward rate cuts.
