German equity market was one of the major global equities that saw positive gains last Friday.

Out of total 778 stocks trading in the exchange, 484 stocks closed in green while 81 closed unchanged at end of trading session. As per data on the performance of sectoral indices from Frankfurt stock exchange, 17 of 18 sectoral indices closed positive for the day and stocks from Bank, Media and Transport and logistics sectors were the top gainers of the day with three indices seeing 4.61%, 3.69% & 2.92% increase in value respectively.

Asian equity market took positive cues from US Wall Street and on optimism surrounding Sino-U.S. trade talks and traded positive across Pacific-Asian market hours. DAX futures saw positive price action early in the day and were up by 0.17% in early Asian market hours but saw a slight decline ahead of European market opening. The bearish decline was the result of cautious investor sentiment from European pre-open market as ECB board member Benoit Coeure last Friday mentioned plans for initiating targeted long term refinancing operation by ECB which is viewed as dovish sentiment by investors. DAX is expected to see subdued opening and trade with dovish bias given the high level of dovish influence following Coeure’s speech last Friday. However, sharp downside move is likely to be prevented by positive cues from international markets.
