The TecDAX ended Tuesday, October 13, at 3,986 points, down 7 points or 0.2 percent. The STOXX 600 rose 0.4 percent as lower oil lifted sentiment, while chip stocks faced competition concerns from China, Reuters reported.
SMA Solar was the strongest TecDAX stock, rising 4.6 percent. Elmos Semiconductor was the weakest, falling 6.3 percent, according to the Investing.com closing snapshot.
Why did the TecDAX slip on Tuesday?
Lower oil prices supported broader European equities during the session. Technology shares remained under pressure after reports of advances by Chinese memory-chip maker ChangXin Memory Technologies raised competition concerns, Reuters said.
German September inflation came in at 3.3 percent year over year, matching the preliminary reading. The data added to the market focus on energy costs and interest-rate expectations, according to RTTNews.

TecDAX range shows early gains fading
The index opened at 4,004 points after Monday's close of 3,993 points. It reached 4,012 points at the high and 3,971 points at the low before finishing at 3,986 points, finanzen.net reported.
The late decline left the index below its opening level but close to unchanged on the day. The technology-heavy benchmark moved against a broader European backdrop that benefited from softer oil prices and lower bond yields.
