The DAX 40 rose 0.6% to near 26,300 on Friday, setting a fresh record high and marking the second day of advances.

The technology sector, particularly software companies and chipmakers, led sectoral gains, followed by pharma & healthcare and industrials, while insurers faced strong selling pressure.

SAP climbed 3.4% and Infineon Technologies added 1.6%.

Rheinmetall, Scout24, Qiagen and Brenntag also advanced solidly.

Daimler Truck slipped nearly 3%, after reporting an 18% drop in second-quarter profit and despite raising full-year adjusted EBIT guidance.

Munchener Ruck slid 2.7% even after a suprise 6% increase in net profit.

Allianz fell 0.9%, despite stronger-than-expected record Q2 operating profit, as net income came in below forecasts.

DAX Sustains Gains
Frankfurt’s DAX 40 closed about 0.2% up at 25,322 on Wednesday, reversing prior day's losses, mainly supported by strength in pharma & healthcare, chemical companies and industrials. However, initial optimism over ASML’s upbeat results failed to sustain momentum in tech stocks. Meanwhile, traders assessed hotter-than-expected US inflation data for September, which increased the likelihood of a Fed rate hike later this month, while also monitoring the earnings season and geopolitical developments. MTU Aero Engines (3.5%), Rheinmetall (3.3%), Merck (3.1%), Bayer (2.9%), Arbus (2.8%) and Qiagen NV (2.7%) were among the top performers. On the flip side, Porsche Automobil, Zalando, Volkswagen, Siemens Energy and Infineon Technologies lagged, falling up to 1.8%.

DAX Cautiously Higher
Frankfurt’s DAX 40 rose 0.4% to around 25,365 on Wednesday, recovering some ground after the previous session’s losses. Gains across the European technology sector provided support, following upbeat results from Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML. However, the cautious mood persisted amid rising oil prices, which fueled concerns over renewed inflationary pressures, while anticipation of September’s US inflation data kept markets on edge. Infineon Technologies was among the top gainers, rising 3.2%. Vonovia (2.9%), MTU Aero Engines (2.4%), Rheinmetall (1.7%) and BASF (1.6%) also advanced firmly. On the flip side, Zalando dropped 2.1% to the bottom of the index.
