Even if the data situation on Omikron is still considered thin, the market pointed to more hopeful news from South Africa. Evidence that infections with the virus variant could be less dramatic encouraged investors to buy again. This was especially true for papers from traditional branches of industry and those branches that are particularly susceptible to developments in the Corona crisis.
In the travel sector, for example, airline papers were on the rise, especially those of American Airlines
und United Airlines with course jumps in the size range of around eight percent. Even with cruise stocks, investors lively took hold of them again, as did price gains in a similar framework at Royal Caribbean as well as Carnival

Their papers recovered a little more than three percent each.
Conversely, interest in vaccine stocks declined rapidly, as did setbacks of 18.7 and 13.5 percent at Biontech or Moderna showed. The two pioneers with their mRNA technology are currently testing the effectiveness of their vaccines against the variant. Should this develop only mild symptoms, the need for quick follow-up vaccinations could become less urgent, it said on the market.

, which slumped 2.1 percent. In the case of the graphics card and processor specialist, it became known that the planned takeover of the chip developer ARM would meet with official resistance. The DZ-Bank analyst Ingo Wermann no longer expects the takeover.
Otherwise, there were still a few stocks in the small caps area that were worth a look for investors. The papers of the US-listed Chinese Internet company Alibaba increased 10.4 percent as a result of reported reorganizations that are reorganizing international e-commerce activities and replacing management positions.
