Catalysts & Headlines (CET)
US manufacturing data risk
The ISM headline and prices component can quickly move yields, DXY and US equity futures, setting the tone for the DAX close.
16:00
Volatility remains contained
A lower VIX keeps dip-buying interest alive, but any volatility reversal would make the 24160 pivot more vulnerable.
15:16
Oil slide supports risk appetite
Brent weakness eases the inflation impulse and supports cyclicals, though the size of the oil move warrants monitoring into the close.
