Germany’s DAX fell 0.4% to below 24,030 on Friday, a two-week low, as investors weighed recent central bank meetings, progress in US-China trade, and a flood of corporate and economic data. Market participants will closely watch today’s Eurozone inflation data, which could guide the ECB’s next steps. Among stocks, top losers included Deutsche Telekom (-1.3%), Adidas (-1.3%), Hannover Ruck (-1%) and Scout24 (-0.9%). On the upside, Commerzbank led the way, rising 1%, followed by Merck (+0.9%), Volkswagen (+0.6%) and Siemens Energy (+0.4%). The DAX was set to decline roughly 0.9% for the week, while posting a 0.6% gain for October.
