After the weaker start to the week, the Dax continued to fall on Tuesday. A few minutes after the start of the stock exchange, the leading German index fell by 0.22 percent to 14,348.59 points. The MDax of medium-sized stocks lost 0.83 percent to 25,334.22 points. In terms of percentage, the EuroStoxx 50 presented itself as the leading barometer for the euro zone.

After weeks of rallying at the highest level since the beginning of June, the Dax is currently struggling a little - after an increase of almost 22 percent since the end of September. There is a lack of new impulses and these could also be absent in the further course of the week, because in the USA there will be no trading on Thursday due to the Thanksgiving holiday and only a shortened trading on Friday.

The recovery on the US stock market is also stagnating. The Nasdaq technology indices came back even more sharply the previous evening. Investors' growth hopes for China were dampened by the sharp rise in Covid cases. After a poor start to the week, Asia's stock markets were mixed this morning.
