Positive start for the Dax on Thursday morning with almost all values in the plus. At 09:45, the index was calculated at around 15,495 points, up 0.6 percent on the previous day. Shares in Linde, Infineon and MTU topped the list of share prices, while Munich Re securities fell significantly.

The euro was quoted on Thursday morning hardly changed at 1.0612 U.S. dollars (+0.06 percent) and thus at 0.9423 euros per dollar.
