Equity markets hope for end to recession

After a very weak start in 2009, the financial markets made a significant recovery in the second quarter. The hope that the recession will soon end – fed from a variety of business confidence indicators – led to a 17.7% rise in the DAX in the second quarter, even breaking the 5,000 mark at times. The EURO STOXX 50 was up 16.0%, closing at 2,401.69. Deutsche Post shares also made gains in the second quarter, increasing by 14.5% to close at €9.29. Nevertheless, our shares fell 22% on the year, considerably under-performing our competitors. Average trading volumes decreased by 12.7% to around 6.5 million shares per day.
