The day before, the Dax had gone down 0.36 percent.
Despite the Ukraine war, however, the Dax has had a strong stock market week so far. Nervousness among investors has been high, which was again reflected in sharp price fluctuations during the trading session on Thursday.
There could be greater fluctuations on Friday due to the expiry date for options and futures on indices and individual stocks. Investors often try to move prices in a direction that is favorable to them.
The MDax of the medium-sized stock exchange groups was almost on the spot in the early morning with plus 0.04 percent at 31,485.85 points. At the European level, the leading euro zone index EuroStoxx 50 fell slightly by 0.03 percent to 3884.28 points.
