Meanwhile, a ceasefire between Israel and Iran continue to hold, easing concerns over global supply chains.

The benchmark DAX was up 219.25 points or 0.93% at 23,849.53 a little while ago.

Adidas is rising nearly 4%. Porsche is up 3.1% and Daimler Truck Holding is climbing nearly 3%. Sartorius and BMW are up 2.7% and 2.5%, respectively.

Heidelberg Materials, Siemens and Bayer are up 1.8 to 2.1%. Mercedes Benz and MTU Aero Engines are up by a little over 1.5% from their previous closing levels.

SAP, Vonovia, Deutsche Post, Volkswagen, BASF, Continental, Beiersdorf, Brenntag, Merck and Porsche Automobil Holding are also up with notable gains.

Rheinmetall is down by about 2.7%. Commerzbank is down with a modest loss of 0.4%.
