Our share price regains significant ground

Stock markets also benefitted from the upward economic trend, yielding a better third quarter than capital market participants had anticipated. The DAX climbed by around 18% in both the third quarter and in the first nine months of 2009, closing on 30 September at 5,675. The EURO STOXX 50 was up 19.6% in the third quarter and 17.2% on the year. Deutsche Post shares also made up significant ground in the third quarter, rising 37.9% to outperform the above-mentioned indices. This is a sign of the early cyclical nature of our shares, which closed on 30 September at €12.80, up for the first time on the year. Despite this positive development, our share value still underperformed the DAX, growing 7.5% in the reporting period. Average daily trading volumes fell by 21.1%, on par with the overall market trend.
