On Tuesday, the German stock market climbed higher as people looked forward to a major vote in the parliament. This vote is about new debt rules that will allow Germany to borrow a lot of money—500 billion euros, or about $546 billion—to help improve the economy. The overall European stock market, known as STOXX 600, was up by 0.3% and Germany’s top companies index rose by 0.7%.
With this new fund, Germany plans to invest in big projects like roads and increase spending on security. Investors are also curious about an important phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The U.S. is trying to get Russia to agree to a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict that has lasted three years.
On this day, car shares saw the biggest gains, going up by 1%, and the oil and gas sector followed with a 0.9% increase. Befesa shares increased by 1.2% after news announced that Triton Partners would be becoming investors in the recycling company. However, Fraport shares fell by 3.4% after the airport company said it expects only a small rise in its earnings and passenger numbers for 2025, which disappointed some investors.
