Stock exchange in Frankfurt: Dax rises before US interest rate decision

The Dax gained a little on the day of the US interest rate decision. Otherwise, the focus was on a flood of quarterly figures and prospects for German companies. At the end of trading on Wednesday - a few hours before the US Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, which was widely expected to be repeated - the leading German index gained 0.53 percent to 13,166.38 points. The MDax for medium-sized companies even rose by 1.65 percent to 26,491.91 points.
