German stocks fell sharply on Wednesday. The DAX dropped below the closely watched 25,000-point mark, according to Tagesschau.

The report cited escalating tensions in the Iran war and new US tariff threats as the main factors weighing on the market. The combination of geopolitical risks and trade policy uncertainties pushed down prices.
