The DAX in Frankfurt gained some ground to close 0.6% up at 23,881 on Tuesday, despite concerns over new tariff threats from President Trump and the possibility of a US government shutdown. President Trump on Monday threatened substantial tariffs on countries that do not produce furniture in the US, with imported lumber, kitchen, and wooden bathroom furniture facing 10%–25% taxes starting October 14, and further increases planned on January 1 if no agreement is reached. On the domestic front, Germany’s inflation accelerated more than expected to 2.4% in September, from 2.2% in August, according to preliminary data. Separately, retail sales unexpectedly fell in August, and the jobless rate stayed at 6.3%. On equities, MTU Aero Engines and Scout24 led gains, rising 4.6% and 2.1%, respectively, while Daimler Truck underperformed with a 1.9% drop. So far in September, the DAX has fallen around 0.1%, and for Q3, it recorded a similar 0.1% decrease.
