DAX Closes on Cautious Note

2026-09-22 16:16 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Frankfurt's DAX 40 closed virtually unchanged at 25,579 on Tuesday after a volatile session, as caution prevailed.

Brent crude fell before settling back around $100 a barrel after reports that Tehran had offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days if the US lifted its blockade of its ports.

The proposal could serve as a basis for talks with countries mediating on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

Speaking in New York, President Trump defended the conflict, saying he could “annihilate” Iran but expected a deal after the US midterm elections.

Locally, political concerns persisted after Germany’s CDU suffered its worst-ever result in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, winning no seats and prompting calls for Chancellor Merz to step down.

Solid gains in tech, travel-related stocks and retailers were offset by weakness in insurers, banks and telecoms.

Among the top gainers were Zalando (3.7%), Lufthansa (3.3%), GEA Group (2.8%), Adidas (2.6%) and Infineon (2.5%).

Germany’s annual inflation rate was confirmed at 3.3% in September, the highest level since December 2023, up from 2.9% in August. Zalando was the top performer, climbing more than 7%, followed by Fresenius SE & Co, Siemens Healthineers, Fresenius Medical Care and Bayer, each rising over 4%. On the downside, technology stocks came under pressure, particularly chipmakers such as Infineon Technologies, which fell 7.2% amid renewed doubts over AI investment returns and growing competition from China's CXMT.
