The German DAX benchmark registered its third consecutive day of losses, declining by 0.65% to 23,192.58, driven by escalating geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the Israel-Iran conflict.

Notable individual stock movements included Sartorius, which topped gainers with a 1.5% increase, and MTU Aero Engines, rallying over 1%. Conversely, Zalando experienced a significant plunge of 4.1%, while Adidas and Continental both shed more than 1%. The broader market environment reflected a risk-off sentiment. The U.S. Dollar Index edged up by 0.07% to 98.95, contributing to a 0.09% slip in the EUR/USD pair to 1.1474 and a 0.04% decrease in the EUR/GBP pair to 0.8541, although the EUR/JPY pair saw an increase of 0.28% to 167.10. Concurrently, ten-year German bond yields spiked by 0.64% overnight to 2.5160%, up from the previous close of 2.5000%, amid a global trend of hardening bond yields. This combination of falling equity prices, a stronger dollar, and rising sovereign yields underscores the heightened investor caution.
