The DAX closed at 26,570 on August 28, 2026 (+0.77%), led by a strong automotive rebound (BMW +4.5%, VW +3.2%, Mercedes +3.0%). Year-end 28,500 requires an additional +7.3% from current levels. Supporting factors: (1) existing Cassandra forecast DAX >27,000 on September 5 signals near-term upside momentum; (2) Deutsche Bank Research 2026 year-end target was 27,500โ28,000 (July 2026); (3) structural auto sector recovery on EU tariff relief expectations. The 28,500 threshold sits ~2% above the upper end of bank forecasts โ ambitious but achievable with positive momentum. No direct market odds; estimated probability: 42%.
