Dax index touches fresh all-time highs as the coronavirus fears ease and despite weak economic data. The partial opening of factories and business in China improved investors sentiment as the number of confirmed cases and deaths rising but at a slower pace. On Monday there are over 41,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and the death toll is over 1016.
Analysts now bet on further easing from ECB. Deutsche Bank forecasts that the coronavirus crisis will likely cut off 0.2% of Germany’s first-quarter GDP. ECB President Christine Lagarde, will speak later and might shed more light on current conditions and on the ECB’s futures move. The central bank is conducting its strategic review, targeting to conclude it in July 2020.
