Tuesday Market Outlook: DAX Expected to Rise, US Futures Mixed
On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, the European markets are gearing up for a mildly positive day, with the DAX index expected to rise by 0.4% in the morning. The FTSE 100 and CAC 40 are also anticipated to see increases of around 0.3%-0.8% [4]. However, U.S. stock futures show a more uncertain picture, with Dow Jones futures slightly up, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures are down [4].
In the European market, the DAX's performance is often influenced by economic indicators such as employment figures, GDP growth rates, or business sentiment indexes, which are typically scheduled around this period [2]. As of now, no specific data releases for Germany have been detailed for Tuesday.
Across the Atlantic, the U.S. indices' performance is closely tied to scheduled releases like employment statistics or other macroeconomic data that impact investor sentiment and market volatility [2][4]. No exact economic reports for Tuesday have been specified in the search results.
Here's a summary of the expected movements for some major indices:
| Market/Index | Expected Movement on Tuesday, Aug 19, 2025 | |-------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | DAX (Germany) | +0.4% pre-market (mildly positive) | | FTSE 100 (UK) | +0.33% pre-market | | CAC 40 (France) | +0.81% pre-market | | Dow Futures (US) | +0.05% pre-market (slightly up) | | S&P 500 Futures (US) | -0.07% pre-market (slightly down) | | Nasdaq Futures (US) | -0.14% pre-market (slightly down) |

Meanwhile, the US stock market's performance, contrasting with the European market, is influenced by scheduled releases like employment statistics or other macroeconomic data, affecting investor sentiment and market volatility [4].
The US President's decision to postpone planned tariffs until November 10 could have a significant impact on both finance [13] and technology [3], as it might encourage investments and partnerships between US and Chinese businesses.
