Further to an update here this morning, begging the question as to whether or not the DAX will do something it could not on Friday and play catch up with the gains seen stateside into the close. Well, the DAX has opened a little higher this morning and now it is has advanced further in early trading, rising back above 18,230 a moment ago. Of course the session is yet young and much can change as the morning unfolds. However, for now the DAX is on the front foot and making progress in early trading, currently trading at 18,235
