German ZEW Economic Sentiment IndexEUR
Nov 17, 12:00 · Previous 28.1
High-impact releases for EUR over the next 7 days, in server time (GMT+2). Dots on the 1D and 5D charts mark recent releases.
The DE40 Futures (DAX) represent the 40 largest companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, serving as the primary barometer of German and eurozone economic health. With daily trading volumes exceeding €10 billion, the DE40 is one of Europe's most liquid and widely traded equity indices. It includes industrial heavyweights, financial institutions, and technology leaders, making it a benchmark for continental European sentiment.
DE40 Futures prices are driven by eurozone economic data (GDP, inflation, employment), European Central Bank monetary policy decisions, corporate earnings, and broader risk sentiment. German manufacturing output, ifo business climate surveys, and geopolitical developments affecting the euro also significantly influence index movement. Correlations with other major indices (DAX components, Eurostoxx 50, S&P 500) provide important context for directional trades.
At GCC Brokers, DE40 Futures orders are executed automatically, with no manual intervention. The master contract is cash-settled with no physical delivery, and our Zero and Standard account tiers offer variable spreads and flexible leverage. Real-time market data, advanced charting, and API access support both discretionary and algorithmic trading strategies.
At GCC Brokers, DE40 Futures trade Monday to Friday with extended hours beyond the Frankfurt cash session; the exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above. Liquidity is highest during Frankfurt Stock Exchange hours. Check your trading platform for any market holidays affecting the German exchange.
Spreads are variable and depend on market conditions and your account. Standard and Pro have no commission, and Pro has tighter spreads; Zero has raw spreads plus a commission. The live spread is shown on this page. Futures CFDs carry no overnight swap.
DE40 prices respond to eurozone economic data (PMI, CPI, employment figures), ECB policy announcements, corporate earnings from DAX constituents, and shifts in risk sentiment. German manufacturing strength, energy prices, and currency fluctuations of the euro also play key roles. Geopolitical events and global equity market trends further influence intraday and swing trading dynamics.
DE40 Futures are cash-settled index futures with no physical delivery of shares. The contract multiplier and tick size determine profit/loss on each point move, making position sizing straightforward. GCC Brokers handles all settlement automatically, allowing you to focus on trading strategy rather than logistical concerns.
DE40 Futures suit swing traders, day traders, and institutional investors seeking exposure to German economic health and eurozone sentiment. The high liquidity enables tight fills for both small and large positions. Traders with strategies based on macroeconomic calendars, central bank moves, or European equity correlations find the DE40 particularly useful for hedging or directional plays.
