The benchmark DAX fell 104 points, or 1.3 percent, to 12,029 after rising 0.4 percent in the previous session.

Automotive part supplier HELLA lost 2.5 percent after it posted a decline in earnings before interest and taxes for the first quarter, on higher costs especially for materials, energy and logistics, and high capital expenditures.

Rational AG soared nearly 13 percent after raising its sales revenue and profit forecast for 2022.
