Symrise is declining more than 2%. Daimler Truck Holding, BASF, Porsche, Heidelberg Materials, Siemens, Vonovia, Porsche Automobil Holding, Mercedes-Benz, Zalando and Volkswagen are down 1 to 1.7%.

Adidas, Sartorius, Fresenius, BMW, Deutsche Post, Siemens Energy and Siemens Healthineers are also down in negative territory.

Bayer is rising more than 2.5%. E.ON is climbing nearly 1.5%, while Brenntag is up by about 1%.

Infineon Technologies is up nearly 1% after the company said it would develop a new power delivery chip with Nvidia.

Hannover Rueck, Deutsche Bank, Rheinmetall, Commerzbank and Henkel are advancing 0.5 to 0.85%.
