- The MDAX closed the November 10 session at 31,034.35 points, down 0.12 percent.
- Lower oil prices and hopes of easing Middle East tensions initially supported European equities.
- Stronger-than-expected US inflation data and renewed expectations of a December Federal Reserve rate hike limited gains.
The MDAX closed Tuesday, November 10, at 31,034.35 points, a decline of 0.12 percent. Based on the previous Frankfurt-session close of 31,072.75 points, the mid-cap index lost 38.40 points. The closing level and daily move were reported by dpa-AFX via t-online on November 10, 2026.
Early support fades by the close
German equities initially benefited from lower oil prices and hopes that the military conflict between the United States and Iran was moving toward de-escalation. Those factors eased some concerns about energy costs and inflation. The MDAX nevertheless finished slightly below its previous close as US markets weakened and investors reassessed the interest-rate outlook.
Hargreaves Lansdown reported that US consumer prices rose 0.4 percent month over month in October, above the 0.3 percent increase expected by economists. Core inflation increased 0.3 percent. The data strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates in December, putting pressure on equity valuations later in the European session.
