Dax Closes Lower Despite EU Tariff Announcement

The Dax index closed Monday's trading session in the red, despite remaining above the 24,000 point mark. Market participants reacted to the EU's announcement of planned counter-tariffs on US goods, which may not significantly alter the ongoing trade negotiations.

Eon, Commerzbank, and Bayer led the index with notable gains. Bettina Orlopp, the current CEO of Commerzbank, has overseen the bank's recent positive performance. However, the Dax as a whole fell by 0.8 percent, unable to shake off the influence of the EU's tariff announcement.

Zalando, Brenntag, and Porsche were the worst performers, contributing to the index's overall decline. Market expert Andreas Lipkow observed that while the Dax held above the psychological price mark of 24,000 points, it was unable to break free from the red zone.

The Dax ended Monday's trading session below Friday's closing level, with market participants anticipating potential US tariffs on the European automotive industry. The EU's counter-tariffs may not significantly impact the ongoing negotiations, leaving the Dax to navigate a cautious market landscape.
