DAX Modestly Higher As Investors Await Vote On Spending Plan

(RTTNews) - German stocks are modestly higher on Monday on selective buying as investors await a vote on the spending plan that would help create a 500 billion euro infrastructure investment fund.

Brenntag is up 2.5%, Fresenius is rising 2.1%, Puma is gaining 2.3%, Volkswagen is up nearly 2% and Porsche is gaining 1.8%, Commerzbank is advancing 1.4% and Bayer is rising about 1.3%.

Siemens Energy, BMW, MTU Aero Engines, Heidelberg Materials, Continental, E.ON., Fresenius, Qiagen and Sartorius are up 0.5 to 1%.

Symrise is declining 1.5%. Infineon, Adidas and Beiersdorf are down 1 to 1.25%. Deutsche Post, Vonovia and Zalando are lower by 0.5 to 0.7%.

The yield on Germany's 10-year Bund fell to 2.885% this morning, before edging up to 2.883%. The yield on 10-year Bund had risen to 2.9% last week, the highest level since 2011.
