The German DAX is attempting a rebound.

On Thursday, the DAX rose by 0.3% and traded near the 18640 level.

Ahead of tomorrow's US employment statistics, traders remain cautious.

Early in the week, disappointing economic indicators rekindled concerns about a US economic slowdown, leading to a sharp drop in Nvidia's stock price and pressure on the high-tech sector.

On the other hand, Germany's factory orders in July were surprisingly high, surpassing the expected decrease.

In the corporate sector, RWE (1.9%) and Vonovia (1.5%) took the top spots, but Infineon fell 1% for the fourth consecutive trading day.
