DAX Starts Week on Negative Note

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 banks and industrials.
