FX.co ★ DAX Outperforms in Europe

On Tuesday, Frankfurt's DAX 40 index experienced a modest recovery, edging up by approximately 0.5% to settle at 23,710. This gain helped offset the 1% decline witnessed on Monday and surpassed the performance of its regional counterparts. Leading the surge was biotechnology powerhouse Bayer, which soared nearly 12%—marking its most significant single-day increase in nearly two decades—following support from the Trump administration for Bayer’s plea to the U.S. Supreme Court to evaluate an appeal related to litigation over numerous claims that its Roundup herbicide is carcinogenic. Siemens Energy also saw a notable rise of 3.2%, buoyed by Goldman Sachs elevating its price target for the shares to €139 and reaffirming its buy recommendation. Additional strong performers included Rheinmetall, which advanced 2.9%, and Deutsche Bank, climbing 2.2%. Conversely, the session's top decliners were Symrise, falling 3.2%, followed by Brenntag, Daimler Truck, and Henkel AG & Co, each declining by 1.8%.
