DAX set to fall again after sharp losses last week
Germany’s DAX was set to open lower on Monday after a sharp sell-off last week.
The index had reached a record 26,692 points before falling to 25,820 on Friday.
The selling followed a US technology-stock slump as investors worried that stricter US rules could slow AI investment.
The DAX has less exposure to technology stocks than some indexes, which may help it, but analysts say a year-end rally could be uneven.
Company earnings due this week include results from Siemens, Eon and Munich Re, which could influence share prices.
Investors are also watching US inflation figures due Tuesday because higher inflation could lead to higher interest rates and more expensive borrowing.
Germany’s DAX was expected to open lower on Monday after a sharp fall last week.
Before trading, indicators put the index about 0.3% lower, at 25,753 points according to X-Dax and 25,737 according to IG Markets.
The DAX fell 1.9% on Friday to 25,820 points, after reaching a record 26,692 points on Thursday.
Investors were concerned about the prospect of stricter US regulation of artificial intelligence and the resulting pressure on technology stocks.
Analysts said the DAX’s relatively low technology weighting could help it weather the market turmoil, although a year-end rally could be more difficult.

What people are saying
A sustained recovery and subsequent defense of this level would be important steps toward stabilization and would improve the chances of a year-end rally.
Thanks to its low tech weighting, the Dax has so far come through this difficult phase comparatively well.
The markets are still a long way from being out of the woods.
