The DAX index climbed 0.8% to reach 18,725 points in early trade. On Tuesday, the stock market barometer had dropped to its lowest point in four weeks at one point. The MDAX, which showcases medium-sized enterprises, also rose 0.8% to 27,180 points in the morning trading. The EuroStoxx 50, the key index for the eurozone, increased by 0.7%.

The uptick in the DAX is mainly driven by SAP shares, contributing to a 4.3% enhancement to the index. Analyst Nay Soe Naing from Berenberg Bank highlighted the encouraging growth goals presented at SAP's annual software event, Sapphire.

There are alterations in stock index compositions: In the MDAX, shares of TUI, Rational, and Traton have taken on a bigger role. Each of these stocks played a considerable role in boosting the index. On the other hand, the time has come for Morphosys, SMA Solar, and Sixt to say goodbye to the index. For the leading DAX index, however, no changes have been made.
