FX.co ★ DAX on Cautious Note

The Frankfurt DAX faced indecisiveness on Wednesday, fluctuating around the 24,390 mark. This uncertainty was sparked by France's political turmoil and the ongoing US government shutdown. Adding to investor unease, recent economic indicators from Germany were concerning. Notably, Germany's industrial production plummeted by 4.3% in August 2025 on a month-over-month basis, sharply exceeding the anticipated 1% decline, and representing the steepest decrease since March 2022. On the stock front, Adidas, Siemens Energy, RWE, and Rheinmetall saw notable gains, each rising by over 1%. Conversely, BMW shares fell by more than 5% after the automaker issued a profit warning for the 2025 financial year, citing a revision in earnings expectations due to underperformance in China and delays in tariff refunds between the EU and the US.
