DAX starts the week lower

Germany's GDP surprises to the downside

Daimler Truck takes stake in Deutz (DEZ.DE)
Monday's trading session on markets from the Old Continent brings a deterioration in sentiment among the major stock indexes. The German DAX is recording declines today and continues to remain below the consolidation zone in the area of recent local peaks. We have a very interesting week ahead of us as far as the macro calendar is concerned, and it is not surprising that most of the market movements will precisely depend on the reaction to specific data. This week awaits us, among others: the Fed, BOE and ECB decisions, as well as the NFP report from the US!
The report turned out to be a disappointment, with GDP growth of 0.5% YoY versus the expected 0.8% YoY. In quarterly terms, German growth fell by 0.2% QoQ (previously 0.0% QoQ).
