(RTTNews) - German stocks were slightly lower on Tuesday after a survey showed consumer confidence in the country weakened for a third consecutive month in November.

Meanwhile, the HCOB German manufacturing PMI improved to 40.7 in October from 39.6 in September - still deep in contraction territory. The services PMI fell to 48 from 50.3.

The benchmark DAX was down 47 points, or 0.3 percent, at 14,753 after finishing marginally higher the previous day.
