Frankfurt’s DAX 40 gained over 1% on Tuesday to trade near 25,550, approaching the record levels last seen in August and extending the previous session’s advance. Sentiment improved further, supported by a continued rebound in global technology stocks after last week’s selloff and by the ongoing slide in oil prices. Even so, investors remained focused on the corporate earnings season.
Most sectors moved higher, led by technology, banking, and industrial shares. Among individual names, Infineon Technologies jumped as much as 7% after posting record results for the fourth quarter and the full 2026 fiscal year, while also issuing a strong revenue outlook for the year ahead. Other notable gainers included Rheinmetall, MTU Aero Engines, Continental, Daimler Truck, and Siemens Energy, each rising between 2% and 4.5%. Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank advanced about 2% apiece, while Lufthansa climbed 1.7%, helped by lower oil prices.
