DE30: DAX loses bullish momentum from the beginning of the session

• Stock exchanges from the Old Continent slightly lower at the start of the new week

• Moody's downgrades Adidas lender rating

The first trading session on European markets this week brings a moderate deterioration in sentiment in the face of reduced investor activity due to banking holidays in the US and Canada. On the macro calendar today there is a lack of events and readings that could cause increased volatility in the market. Investors' attention is shifting to individual listed companies.

Company news and bank recommendations: 

• Shares of Airbus (AIR.DE) are trading down nearly 1.5% today following comments by the CEO of its defense division on Eurofighter orders. Despite a plan to increase production of fighter jets and other defense systems, the government is failing to fulfill contracts and new orders, preventing full occupancy of production lines.

• Moody's downgrades Adidas' (ADS.DE) credit rating due to weak outlooks for next year and problems in the company's management. The long-term rating drops to A3 from A2. The stock is losing nearly 1.2% today.
