Frankfurt's DAX edged down toward the 24,000 mark on Wednesday, on track for the fifth straight day of losses, as traders weighed more tariff threats and disappointing corporate updates, including from ASML and Renault. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was likely to impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals by the end of the month and that levies on semiconductors could come soon. Among individual stocks, Infineon Technologies led the losses, down 1.6%, followed by Daimler Truck Holding, Volkswagen, Siemens Energy, Vonovia and Porsche AG.
