The German DAX index struggled to regain momentum on Tuesday following its record high of 26,573 points reached the previous week. Broker IG indicated a 0.4 percent decline for the blue-chip index to 26,239 points shortly before the Frankfurt opening bell.
While the index has failed to establish new highs since the previous Wednesday, the market has avoided any significant profit-taking sell-offs. Investors continue to monitor developments in the bond markets and crude oil prices as key headwinds impacting domestic equities.
