Why should one care about "the markets". A 1.25% drop in the DAX is hardly an extrodinary event. BTW: The DAX has risen 600 points during the last year of Schröders reign.

Even the Economist was laudating Germany as a good place to do business. The "negative" reaction of business leaders now is just plain propaganda.

you're right.

Concerning the Economist:

It sort of endorsed Merkel some days ago. I suspect it to have done the "Surprising economy"-story in expectation of a CDU/FDP victory. Maybe they were just too confident of a CDU-victory? - Otherwise, they might have published the story later, which would have been better for Merkel?
