FRANKFURT, Jan 14, 2026, 18:18 CET Germany’s DAX snapped its record streak Wednesday, sliding 0.53% to 25,286.24. Investors cashed in gains and reconsidered the likelihood of near-term U.S. rate cuts. The MDAX, tracking mid-caps, fell 1.44% to 31,774.24. (MarketScreener) The pullback comes after the DAX hit a record high Tuesday, marking its longest winning streak in over ten years. Steve Sosnick, chief market analyst at Interactive Brokers, noted, “The key will be what companies tell us about earnings and this earnings season guidance is going to be more important than the actual numbers themselves.” (Reuters) New U.S. inflation figures are
