- The DAX closed 0.85% lower at 25,818.21 points on October 30, ending a four-session winning streak.

The DAX ended the German trading session on Friday, October 30, 2026, at 25,818.21 points. The benchmark fell 0.85%, breaking a four-session winning streak after reaching its highest closing level since early September on the previous day. The closing level and daily move were reported by Deutsche Börse.
Technology weakness drives retreat
Market pressure was concentrated in technology and technology-linked industrial shares. Deutsche Börse said weak signals from US and Asian markets, higher oil prices and broad technology-sector weakness weighed on sentiment after Amazon and Intel disappointed investors with their quarterly results and outlooks. Reuters likewise reported that concerns about the high cost of artificial-intelligence infrastructure investment triggered a global pullback from technology stocks.
The DAX decline was led by losses in shares including Infineon Technologies, Siemens Energy, Hochtief, Deutsche Bank and Siemens, according to TradingView. The pressure on chip and AI-related companies illustrates how sensitive the market remained to questions about investment costs and the timing of returns.
Weekly and monthly gains remain
Friday's setback did not erase the index's broader October advance. Deutsche Börse reported a 2.5% gain for both the week and the month. Bayer provided a notable counterweight on Friday, rising 5.46% after winning a trial involving claims that its Roundup weedkiller caused cancer, as reported by Reuters.
For investors, the session combined a strong monthly trend with a renewed test for technology valuations. Further direction is likely to depend on the durability of corporate earnings, energy-price developments and whether concerns about AI spending spread beyond the technology sector.
