DAX Subdued As Investors Await US Election Outcome

(RTTNews) - German stocks were marginally lower on Tuesday and bond markets remained on edge, as several polls revealed a tight presidential race between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

The benchmark DAX was down 12 points at 19,135 after losing 0.6 percent in the previous session.

In corporate news, utility Uniper SE rose over 1 percent after confirming its FY24 guidance.

Luxury fashion company Hugo Boss fell 2.6 percent after reporting a decline in third-quarter net profit.
