Selling resumed in the tech sector, with Infineon falling 1.2 percent.

Insurer Allianz added 1.5 percent after posting better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and affirming full-year targets.

Deutsche Telekom rallied 2 percent. The telecom firm raised its free cash flow outlook after reporting in-line Q2 core earnings.

Uniper declined 1.7 percent. The utility said it has sold sizeable quantities of its future hydropower output as part of a hedging strategy.

Industrial technology giant Siemens fell about 1 percent despite posting better-than-expected quarterly operating profit and confirming its full-year outlook.
