The benchmark DAX index at Frankfurt Stock Exchange kept on track of recovery on Thursday and closed up at nearly 10,000 points.

Though four leading economic institutes in Germany lowered their forecast for that country's growth in 2015 and Germany's exports recorded the largest monthly drop since the 2009 financial crisis, the German stock market generally still stayed on the course of rebound. The blue-chip index was slightly up by 22.67 points, or 0.23 percent, to 9,993.07 points.

Deutsche Lufthansa AG, the largest airline group in Europe, was the top riser with increase by 4.21 percent, followed by K+S AG and Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co., which added by 3.29 percent and 2.04 percent respectively. Bayer AG fell the most by 1.8 percent. Deutsche Bank warned it would suffer a record loss in the third quarter, which made its share price 1.77 percent lower on Thursday.

The turnover fell to 3.56 billion euros (around 4.02 billion U.S. dollars). Deutsche Bank AG was the most traded share of the day with a turnover of 413.85 million euros (around 467.44 million U.S. dollars). Enditem
