FXStreet (Mumbai) – Germany’s benchmark index, the DAX, opened with a negative gap of 47 points and dived deeper tracking lower European counterparts and plunging oil prices.

Currently, the DAX 30 trades lower at 9860.30 levels, down -0.67%, compared to previous session’s close of 9927.13. The DAX edged lower amid risk-off moods as traders sought to close positions ahead of the year-end holidays. The index also dropped as traders continue to weigh the situation in Greece as well as another slump in oil prices.


The index is trading with a negative market breadth with an advance decline ratio of 6:24. Fresenius SE & Co KG and RWE AG are top losers on the index, each losing over 1%. Among the major gainers, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Commerzbank AG and Infineon Technologies AG moved up 0.5% to 1.60%
