DAX Drops On Weak PMI Data

(RTTNews) - German stocks declined on Friday, as concerns about the banking crisis persisted and a survey showed manufacturing activity in the country continued to worsen in March.

The benchmark DAX was down 116 points, or 0.8 percent, at 15,094 after finishing marginally lower in the previous session.

Deutsche Bank slumped 6 percent to extend declines for a third day after a jump in default insurance costs. Peer Commerzbank tumbled 3.2 percent. TUI Group plummeted 7 percent after the travel group launched a €1.8 billion ($2 billion) capital increase to repay pandemic state aid and strengthen its balance sheet.

Real estate group Deutsche Wohnen fell more than 2 percent after it reported a loss for fiscal 2022 of 445.7 million euros compared to profit of 919.0 million euros, prior year.
