The DAX 40 rose around 0.3% to trade just above the 26,000 mark on Friday, snapping a four-session losing streak, with technology stocks leading the gains. Chipmaker Infineon Technologies and AI-focused Hochtief were among the top performers, climbing 2.1% and 1.8%, respectively. However, sentiment remained cautious amid elevated oil prices and bond yields, alongside persistent geopolitical uncertainty. On the data front, Germany’s private sector continued to expand in August, as a strong rebound in manufacturing offset another contraction in services.
