In the 40-scrip index, 18 scrips are trading in the overnight green zone.

Daimler Truck Holding has surged 4.2 percent followed by Siemens Energy that has gained 2.3 percent. Heidelberg Cement, Deutsche Bank and Siemens have all gained more than 1 percent in the day's trading.

Continental dropped 2.3 percent. Rheinmetall, Beiersdorf and Qiagen have all declined more than 1 percent.

The EUR/USD pair has edged down 0.03 percent and is currently trading at 1.0823 after ranging between 1.0838 and 1.0814. The EUR/GBP pair has edged down 0.07 percent to 0.8338 whereas the EUR/JPY pair has edged up 0.05 percent to 164.49.

In tandem with the global hardening in bond yields, German bond yields increased 0.82 percent. The same is at 2.2735 percent versus 2.2550 percent at the previous close. Yields ranged between 2.2845 percent and 2.2440 percent in the day's trading.
