UK 100 or DAX 30

[Ben]

Hi forumers;

To start with, i am not a Spread Bettor nor a CFDs trader. I just want to have some information about these two major indices. The last 3 months have been really terrible for the DAX 30 compared to UK 100. I believe the difference between these two major indices went from more than a thousand to almost being equal. We all know the reason of this decrease (Greece) and Germany has to support all these weak economies in Europe while France keeps watching a do a bit of speech now and then. Germany is an industrial economic power and its economy is not stagflating like the british economy

After the crisis in Europe is over, will the difference between the DAX and FTSE go back to where it was or are they gonna rise equally

Please share your opinions and excuse my ignorance

I think the DAX will go higher again and it will say "catch me if you can" to the FTSE as soon as the crisis is over. But i dont see that anywhere in the near future!

Dax will always go back to its summit, matter of time and Europe sorting itself out. They can't rely on Germans to sort out their probems all the time!!! They even got Merkel into trouble with her peoples!!!

I agree with my mates, DAX will go back and expand the difference with the FTSE, they could do so easily if they seperate from useless Europe!!!

As Germans have more in stake when it comes to the Euro it's no surprise that DAX flactuates considerably more... When (and if) eurozone is sorted DAX will go considerably higher...

I agree, it's just a matter of time before things get back to normal...The crisis always brigs these two indices quite even, I remember during the recession of 2009 they were equal at around 3700 points.

There is just a little bit of a difference especially when the news concern Europe. 2 ago when we had a couple of positive announcements (China cutting the reserve ratio and...)
DAX went up 500 points when FTSE went up by 320 points. If things stay gloomy like this in Europe, you would't see much of a difference between these two indices...

Well said... sometimes, it's a good idea to buy DAX and sell FTSE on the positive new from Europe.

Don't they move both the same direction most of the time. I mean always when FTSE is up on the day, DAX is up as well. Maybe I'm wrong, but can you guys explain please...

I've seen DAX down and FTSE up quite a few times before.
