The DAX 40 was little changed around 26,440 on Monday, holding close to record highs, led by gains in tech stocks, while attention remained on geopolitical developments. Meanwhile, investors continued to adjust their expectations for the Fed following a series of weaker-than-expected US economic data. Infineon Technologies was the standout performer, rising 2.1%, with AI-related companies Siemens Energy and Hochtief advancing 1.8% and 1.1%, respectively.
