DAX Edges Down
Frankfurt's DAX 40 traded slightly lower around 25,360 on Tuesday, after a positive start to the week, as investors weighed more corporate earnings while bracing for upcoming policy decisions from the Fed and ECB. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty persisted. Consumer goods stocks weighed heavily on the index, led by Beiersdorf, which slipped 3.7% after slightly missing third-quarter sales growth expectations. Henkel followed, down 1.7%. Chemical companies, banks and automakers also faced pressure.
