DAX Rises Despite Weak Retail Sales Data
(RTTNews) - German stocks rose on Thursday as Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled a potential slowing of interest rate hikes and two major Chinese cities relaxed some COVID restrictions in efforts to reduce public discontent.

Retail sales contracted by 5 percent year-on-year in October, the federal statistics office said. That was well below forecasts for a 2.8 percent decline. Sales fell 2.8 percent month-on-month.
The benchmark DAX was up 76 points, or half a percent, at 14,473 after gaining 0.3 percent the previous day.
Tech stocks led the surge, with Infineon Technologies rising more than 3 percent.
