The DAX 40 edged down 0.2% to trade below 25,800 on Tuesday, as investors paused after a five-day rally that sent the index to record highs. Technology stocks came under renewed pressure, particularly semiconductor shares, after Samsung Electronics' record profit failed to impress investors. Infineon Technologies fell 4.1%, while AI-related companies Hochtief and Siemens declined 2.0% and 1.1%, respectively. Siemens Energy slipped over 6% after Barclays downgraded the AI equipment makers to "underweight" from "equal-weight".
