DAX 30 weighs 30 German blue chip stocks in terms of market capitalization.

Not only does it attest to the health of national economy but it is also very telling of investor sentiment. It is an efficient tool in predicting equity market movements as well.

DAX 30 has a base value of 1,000. Its movement is in 0.50 increments. The margin requirement is usually 2% while the trade size requirement is always at least one index. The main trading currency on DAX 30 is euro.

Presently, XETRA, an electronic trading calculator, computes index prices after every second.

There are two versions of DAX 30 quoted in the present— the price index and the performance index.

The price index had reached its all-time high of €8,736 in 2013. Meanwhile, its all-time low of €3,589 had been recorded in 2009— shortly after the onslaught of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.

In March 2015, the performance index had hit the 12,000 mark. By the following month, it had posted its best intraday high of 12,390.75. During that session, it had closed at its all-time high of 12,374.73. The performance index has an all-time low of 372.30, a level not seen since 1974.
