Germany's DAX index saw a modest increase, reaching approximately 24,270 on Tuesday after significant gains in the previous session. Investors were evaluating a new series of corporate earnings reports, contributing to the positive market sentiment. This optimism was bolstered by easing tensions between the United States and China and growing hope for a solution to the US government shutdown. Leading performers among individual stocks were Infineon Technologies with a gain of 1.3%, MTU Aero Engines at 0.8%, Allianz up by 0.7%, Rheinmetall increasing by 0.6%, and Munchener Ruck advancing 0.5%.
