About Germany 40
The DAX is Germany's blue-chip benchmark, tracking the 40 largest companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange — expanded from 30 members in September 2021 following a reform of the index rules. Its constituents are heavily export-oriented, spanning autos, industrials, chemicals and enterprise software, which makes the index sensitive to global trade conditions, Chinese demand and the euro.
A structural detail traders should know: the headline DAX is commonly quoted as a performance (total-return) index that assumes dividends are reinvested — unusual among major world benchmarks, which are typically price indices. That convention flatters long-run comparisons against price-only peers like the FTSE 100 or CAC 40. As the eurozone's most watched equity gauge, the DAX also responds strongly to ECB policy and European growth data.
The market for Germany 40 is currently closed. At the last close it stood at 25,181.65, a move of -190.15 (-0.75%) versus the previous close of 25,371.80, after ranging between 25,013.54 and 25,329.32 over that session. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Neutral.

Germany 40 — frequently asked questions
What is the Germany 40 index?
Germany 40 is the label many platforms and data providers use for the DAX, Germany's blue-chip benchmark of the 40 largest companies listed in Frankfurt. It refers to the same underlying index - DAX is a registered trademark of its provider, so generic names are common. This page shows the live level with an intraday chart and the day's range.
Why did the DAX go from 30 to 40 companies?
The index moved from 30 to 40 members in September 2021, as part of a rule reform that followed the Wirecard accounting scandal. Alongside the expansion, constituents were made subject to profitability and financial-reporting requirements, so companies must now meet standards on earnings and disclosure as well as the long-standing size and liquidity tests.
What moves the DAX 40?
Its constituents are heavily export-oriented - autos, industrials, chemicals and enterprise software - so global trade conditions, Chinese demand and the euro carry unusual weight for a national benchmark. European Central Bank decisions, eurozone inflation and German growth and sentiment surveys are the main scheduled catalysts, and the DAX often opens in the direction set by the previous US and Asian sessions.
What does the Germany 40 52-week range show?
The 52-week range is the lowest low and the highest high Germany 40 printed across the past 52 weeks of daily bars, so it shows where the current price sits relative to that year's extremes. Computed from FXMARE's daily price history, the current 52-week range is 21,863.81 – 26,618.74.
