Deutsche Post Shares
Stock markets volatile but positive overall
International capital markets were volatile in the second quarter of 2011. At the beginning of the quarter, the further strained financial position in Greece put pressure on share prices whilst a better-than-expected reporting season provided indices with a short-term boost. Sentiment was dampened again halfway through the quarter from fears that the economy in the USA and in core markets in Asia might cool off and as a result of rising oil prices. Nevertheless, in the first half of 2011 the DAX recorded a plus of 6.7%, closing at 7,376 points. The EURO STOXX 50 only managed to gain 2.0%. Our share price largely trended with the DAX, closing on the reporting date at €13.25, a 4.3% gain. We have been ahead of our peer group since the beginning of the year.
