  • DE30 under pressure over fears of higher interest rates

  • Markets focused on the performance of Wall Street companies

  • Allianz seeks buyer for N26 stake

Today's session on European markets has seen a relative weakening of investor sentiment, with investors once again spooked by the possibility of the major central banks continuing their cycle of rate rises. Today, sentiment was dampened in this context by weak CPI data from the UK. The DAX is currently trading close to 0.3% down and has tested the region of yesterday's opening levels. Investors' attention is invariably focused on the results presented by companies in Europe and the USA.
