- Story Text: The German DAX index started into the Easter holiday weekend almost unchanged on Thursday (March 28), hours before Cypriot banks were expected to reopen.
A modest increase of 0.04 percent rose to 0.1 percent nearly two hours into trading, with investors closely eyeing developments on the Mediterranean island.
Due to the turbulences surrounding Cyprus, the DAX had lost 1.5 percent since the beginning of the week.
Worries over the impact of a bailout of Cyprus, including fears of a run on the island's banks when they reopen at 1000 GMT, were expected to cap gains and weigh on equity markets in the second quarter.
Many investors expect the market to drop back in the coming quarter, but then resume an upwards trajectory as 2013 progresses, given expectations of a gradual recovery in the global economy. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
