DAX CFD is a contract-for-difference price referencing Germany's DAX, an index of 40 major companies weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. The commonly quoted DAX also incorporates reinvested dividends. It reflects German industry, exporters and wider economic conditions. The contract trades outside regular stock-market hours and involves leverage and overnight funding.
Comparing charts on this board
Compare DAX CFD with cash DAX, FTSE 100 CFD and S&P 500 CFD to distinguish German, European and global leadership. Simultaneous sharp reactions provide a starting point for checking policy announcements and global news.
EUR/USD adds exporter currency context. Compare direction and change over a common window rather than requiring the cash index and contract to share identical levels.
