The Dax will open with gains on Tuesday, according to price trends on the futures markets.

After slight ups and downs, the leading German index started the week almost unchanged at 17,726 points. After the recent price turbulence, investors were hesitant to buy ahead of important economic data.

On the economic side, the ZEW index will provide information on the mood of German stock market professionals during the course of the day. Experts expect the barometer to fall significantly to 36.8 points from 41.8 points. The mood of stock market professionals had already deteriorated in July. Investors are eagerly awaiting this week's US inflation figures, which are due on Wednesday. Investors are hoping that the US price data will provide an indication of future interest rate moves by the US Federal Reserve.

Investors will also be kept on their toes by a flood of company balance sheets. Brenntag, Henkel, Porsche SE, HelloFresh, Bilfinger, TAG Immobilien, Norma and Wacker Neuson, among others, will provide an insight into their books.
