Frankfurt’s DAX 40 rose 0.6% to above 25,500 on Friday, reaching a more than three-week high and extending its gains for a third consecutive session. Market sentiment was supported by easing concerns over AI spending and interest rates, which led to a stabilization in bond yields, especially after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks. The policymaker highlighted AI’s potential to significantly boost economic productivity over the medium term. Meanwhile, traders continued to monitor corporate earnings and geopolitical developments.
