DAX index rises ahead of upcoming ECB meeting

As reported by TradingView, Germany's DAX index gained 0.27% on Wednesday ahead of the European Central Bank's (ECB) monetary policy meeting. The regulator is widely expected to cut its deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.25%, with another similar move likely in June. 

Meanwhile, the market showed mixed performance on Wednesday, according to analysts from the web portal. Gains in the Utilities, Food & Beverages, and Insurance sectors were offset by losses in the Construction, Technology, and Basic Resources sectors.

According to Investing.com, Sartorius led the DAX with a 10.22% rally after posting a 7.7% revenue increase in the first quarter. Other strong performers included German lender Commerzbank (+2.07%) and energy giant E.ON (+1.95%), with the latter's shares hitting a five-year-high.

While the broader market trend remained positive, some stocks faced investor sell-offs. The steepest declines came from Brenntag (-1.75%), Qiagen (-1.33%), and Siemens Energy (-0.96%).
