The DAX index in Frankfurt registered a decline, falling back to a negative stance near 23,700 on Tuesday morning following a brief recovery after a weak opening. Investor sentiment remained cautious as the focus remained on the European Central Bank's upcoming interest rate decision and critical economic data anticipated from the United States later in the week. Adding to the market's apprehension is the political situation in France, where President Macron is seeking to appoint a new Prime Minister following PM Bayrou's unsuccessful confidence vote and address issues surrounding the 2026 budget standoff. Among the laggards, Commerzbank experienced a 3.4% drop, with Rheinmetall down 2.3%, Zalando decreasing by 1.7%, MTU Aero Engines falling 1.5%, Vonovia slipping 1.4%, and Bayer reducing by 1.3%. On the other hand, Sartorius, Beiersdorf, Fresenius Medical Care, Continental, Deutsche Telekom, and Volkswagen were the leading gainers, showing increases between 0.6% and 1.5%.
