DAX Muted Ahead Of U.S Jobs And China Inflation Readings
(RTTNews) - The DAX benchmark of the Frankfurt bourse remained muted at the onset of the new week amidst anxiety ahead of the release of crucial jobs data from the U.S. and inflation readings from China. Anxiety ahead of release of PMI and inflation readings from Germany also added to the weak sentiment.
