Last week the DAX continued to impress and it pushed to a new all time record high, at 18,970 ahead of the monthly close. The break above the previous all time high, at 18,892 was not exactly extended by much yet and yesterday was a pretty lacklustre session, as one might expect with the US markets closed for the Labour Day holiday. So, the DAX broke no new ground yesterday and limped to a close at 18,930, with a rise of just 23 points on the day. The next bis target for the index is clearly the 19k handle and it remains to be seen if that can be reached this week, or perhaps even today? That price point simply has to be on the radar now. The current futures price is indicating a slightly higher opening shortly this morning. currently at around 19,940
