what happened
The DAX, which tracks the 40 largest companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, dropped about 0.6% on Tuesday to 25,824.87 points from a previous close of 25,981.09. Sentiment was hurt by anxiety ahead of the US midterm elections, lingering concerns about high valuations of AI-linked companies and geopolitical tension in the Middle East. Only 15 stocks in the index were trading higher.
Bayer was the strongest large name, gaining 4.3%, while Fresenius Medical Care added 2.5%. The heaviest losses came from SAP, down 2.8%, and MTU Aero Engines, off 2.6%, while Adidas and Airbus each fell close to 2%.
The dollar firmed into the election: the Dollar Index rose 0.11% to 101.85. EUR/USD slipped 0.05% to 1.1178, and the yield on 10-year German bonds climbed to 3.3338% from 3.2921%. Figures are as reported by TradingView, citing RTTNews and dpa-AFX.
why it matters
For markets, the signal points to caution: a firmer dollar and rising German bond yields limit appetite for European equities. Attention now turns to the US election outcome and the direction of the tech sector.
