The DAX 40 fell about 0.5% to around 25,300 on Tuesday, reaching its lowest level since July 24 and extending losses into a second session. Banks led the decline, with Deutsche Bank dropping 3.2% and Commerzbank losing 1.2% after Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan warned that third-quarter fees could fall 10%. Elevated global bond yields and rising oil prices also weighed on the market. Technology stocks, including Infineon Technologies, remained weak after industry leaders called for slower AI development.
