FX.co ★ DAX Falls on Friday

Frankfurt's DAX 40 slipped 0.3% to trade below 26,700 on Friday, as investors took profits after a four-day rally that had driven the index to record highs. Sentiment remained cautious amid rising oil prices and higher bond yields, which have intensified inflation concerns and strengthened expectations of tighter monetary policy, tempering optimism over robust corporate earnings. Markets also stayed focused on Nvidia and the broader semiconductor sector, following the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang.
