On Friday afternoon, the DAX in Frankfurt remained cautiously optimistic, rising 0.1% to approximately 23,790. Market participants were weighing the latest US employment figures alongside President Trump's recent tariff announcements. The weaker-than-anticipated nonfarm payrolls report indicated a persisting slowdown in hiring within the United States, reinforcing forecasts of impending interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve.
