BERLIN, March 5 (Reuters) - A review of the most
important German stock market indices revealed no changes in the
DAX, the league of the 40 most important stocks in Germany,
exchange operator Deutsche Boerse DB1Gn.DE said on Tuesday.
Deutsche Lufthansa LHAG.DE must continue to wait for a
return to the leading index DAX .GDAXI , while online fashion
retailer Zalando ZALG.DE , which had been touted as the first
candidate to leave, narrowly maintained its place in the DAX.
There are two newcomers in the German midcap index MDax
.MDAXI : the biotech company Morphosys MORG.DE , which is
about to be taken over by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant
Novartis NOVN.S , and the industrial services provider
Bilfinger GBFG.DE .
They replace the automotive supplier Vitesco VTSCn.DE and
the kitchen equipment supplier Rational RAAG.DE , which has
been removed from the DAX indices for formal reasons.
