DAX Rises On US Rate Cut Optimism

(RTTNews) - German stocks rose notably on Friday after overnight data showed a sharp rise in U.S. weekly jobless claims, stoking optimism the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates this year.

The benchmark DAX was up 129 points, or 0.7 percent, at 18,815 after rallying 1 percent the previous day.

Online retailer Zalando jumped over 3 percent as Berenberg upgraded its rating on the stock to "buy" from "hold."
