After the moderate loss the previous day, the Dax DE0008469008 is likely to start July slightly higher.

An hour before the start of trading, the X-Dax DE000A0C4CA0 signaled a 0.2 percent higher level for the German leading index at 23,961 points. However, the DAX is expected to remain well below the previous day's high of 24,120 points; its recent recovery had already run out of steam at the start of the week. The Eurozone stock market indicator, the EuroStoxx 50 EU0009658145, is also poised for a somewhat firmer start on Tuesday morning.

Some momentum is coming from Wall Street, where the Dow Jones Industrial US2605661048 continued its recovery rally to its highest level since February. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq indices and the broad-based S&P 500 US78378X1072 set further records. The highest prices were reached well after the end of European trading. China's mainland stock markets, however, barely reacted to the positive economic data this morning.

July 9 remains a key date for investors. A resolution to the EU-US trade dispute must be found by then, otherwise European companies face tariffs of 50 percent on almost all exports to the US. Analyst Thomas Altmann of QC Partners pointed out, however, that the European Union is taking a major step toward US President Donald Trump: "The willingness to permanently accept the 10 percent base tariff shows how strongly the EU wants to achieve a trade deal. This would give EU-based companies back their planning security."

Kontron shares (AT0000A0E9W5) might be worth a look. The Austrian high-tech company is divesting its Jumptec module business. Congatec, a subsidiary of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG DE000A1TNUT7 (DBAG), is acquiring a 96 percent stake in Jumptec through a capital increase, according to reports. The transaction has already been completed, according to reports.

Nagarro DE000A3H2200 shares are trading at a dividend discount this Tuesday.
