GERMANY: - MINIMALLY HIGHER - The Dax is also likely to make little headway on Tuesday and remain in its narrow range of the previous day. Investors are waiting for important US economic data such as producer prices on Tuesday and consumer prices on Wednesday, which have a major influence on the Fed's monetary policy. A little more than two hours before the Xetra start, the broker IG estimated the leading German index to be up 0.13 percent at 17,749 points.

USA: - DOW DOWN; NASDAQ SLIGHTLY UP - After a turbulent August so far, investors remained cautious on US stocks on Monday. Ahead of the publication of important economic data due in the coming days, the Dow Jones Industrial was unable to build on its previous two days of recovery. It lost 0.36 percent to 39,357.01 points. The broad market S&P 500 was a symbol of investors' indecision, leaving trading unchanged in percentage terms at 5,344.39 points. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 index was the best performer, gaining 0.16% to 18,542.02 points. Rising Nvidia shares provided support here.

ASIA: - UNIFORM - After the holiday break at the start of the week, the Japanese leading index Nikkei 225 rose on Tuesday, also thanks to a further stabilization of the yen. This continued the calming trend after a turbulent previous week with significant price losses, especially at the beginning. Shortly before the end of trading, it rose by 2.5 percent. Meanwhile, China's stock markets were unable to find a common direction. The Hang Seng Index of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region recently rose moderately, while the CSI 300, which includes the 300 most important shares on the Chinese mainland stock exchanges, fell slightly.
