By midday, the DAX sank to around 23,750 points, giving up most of the prior session’s gains.

The sudden slump underscores how fragile recent gains have been – the DAX has been range-bound for months, and each attempt to rally has quickly met resistancerss-verzeichnis.de. “The sideways movement continues,” noted one analyst, who said only a slew of upbeat earnings reports might provide reliefhandelsblatt.com.
