The DAX Index Closes 0.11% Lower

Frankfurt's DAX 40 closed about 2.4% firmer at 23,935 on Tuesday, recovering from three-month lows in the prior session, moving in line with other European peers. Investor sentiment improved on optimism over easing Middle East tensions following President Trump's comments, driving oil prices down and alleviating inflation worries. However, threats to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz continued. All sectors saw gains, led by technology and financial stocks. Among the biggest gainers were shares of Siemens Energy (6.4%) and Infineon Technologies (6.1%). Banks and insurers also performed well, with Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank and Allianz gaining between 3.4% and 4.5%. Industrial giant Siemens advanced 5.4%. Volkswagen added 3.2%, after the company said it expects profitability to rebound this year following a challenging 2025. Meanwhile, shares of Lufthansa , which had recently suffered greatly due to concerns about high fuel prices, rose 4% in the MDax.

The DAX Index rose 508 points or 2.17 percent on Tuesday to close at 23917 points. Leading the gains are Infineon (6.02%), Bayer (5.67%) and Continental (5.37%).

Frankfurt's DAX 40 surged more than 2% to surpass 23,900 on Tuesday, after three consecutive sessions of declines, in line with European peers and broader markets. Investor sentiment benefited from falling oil prices following Trump’s comments on a swift end to the Iran conflict and potential measures to stabilize energy prices. However, ongoing threats to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz maintain a level of caution in the market. All sectors saw gains, led by technology, financial stocks and autos. Infineon Technologies climbed 5.7% and Siemens surged 4%. Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank jumped more than 4% each. Volkswagen gained 3.7%, boosting the auto sector, after the company said it expects profitability to rebound this year following a challenging 2025. Hugo Boss gained more than 5% after reporting fourth-quarter profit and sales that exceeded market expectations. Airline Deutsche Lufthansa, which had been hit hard by the recent surge in oil prices, advanced 3.3%.
