The MDAX was trading higher at midday on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. At 13:02 Berlin time, the index stood at 31,293.31 points, up 220.56 points or 0.71% from the previous close of 31,072.75 points, according to MDAX market data. The Xetra session was still ongoing, so the figure represents an intraday level rather than a closing value.
Oil prices support European equities
The broader recovery in German equities continued after the previous session. Finanzen.ch, citing dpa-AFX, reported that the MDAX had gained 0.9% to 31,356 points around midday. The report linked the positive tone primarily to continued declines in oil prices, which reduced immediate inflation concerns and supported expectations that monetary policy could be less restrictive.
The same market report said that easing concerns about a direct escalation in the US-Iran conflict had helped push crude lower. This improved risk appetite across European markets, although the report described the move as part of a broader market recovery rather than a development specific to the MDAX.
US inflation remains the next test
Investors were also positioning for the release of US October inflation data later in the day. The Borsa Italiana economic calendar scheduled the US consumer-price and core-inflation figures for 13:30 UTC, equivalent to 14:30 Berlin time on November 10. The figures were expected to provide a fresh indication of the Federal Reserve's policy path and could influence the tone of US trading after the European market slot.
Company news adds dispersion
Index performance remained uneven beneath the headline gain. Finanzen.ch reported that Infineon was among the strongest large German stocks after its results and outlook, while Jenoptik fell after final quarterly figures. Within the MDAX, Medios also came under pressure after its results and a more cautious forecast, whereas Jungheinrich advanced after confirming its 2026 targets. Such company-specific moves underline that the index's advance was not uniform across constituents.
