DAX record streak snaps as Frankfurt stocks slide; Bayer jumps 7%

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. The pullback comes after the DAX hit a record high Tuesday, marking its longest winning streak in over ten years.
