Frankfurt’s DAX 40 fell 0.7% to around 25,400 on Monday, following a solid advance last week, mirroring a negative sentiment across European markets. Growing social unrest across Europe, particularly in France, alongside persistent geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, weighed on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, corporate earnings on both sides of the Atlantic remained in focus. Several sectors posted declines, led by industrials and banks. Among key movers, Continental, Rheinmetall, Airbus, Vonovia, Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank posted the biggest declines, ranging between 1.4% and 2.9%.
