The German stock market's benchmark index DAX moved modestly higher in cautious trade on Friday with investors reacting to the abrupt cancellation of U.S.-Iran peace talks, scheduled to be held in Switzerland.
The cancellation has led to some uncertainty about the two nations securing a lasting peace truce in the Middle East conflict.
The DAX, which climbed to 25,176.56 earlier, was up 82.87 points or 0.33% at 25,110.93 a little while ago.
