DAX near session lows as the European close looms

As the European close looms in less than 30 minutes there is no rebound across the major European equity indexes. Over the past couple of hours there has been a plethora of news concerning the situation in the Middle East and not one of those headlines has delivered anything positive to report in terms of the current situation. So, the US stock markets are all closed today, but the futures are all treading and have come under further pressure since earlier and all are pricing lower openings for tomorrow. They are off earlier lows though, but far from pushing into anything positive at this stage. Since the last update here, the DAX has traded to fresh session lows underneath 23,100. The low seen so far has been set at 23,096. The index is right now at 23,105
