The German stock market started Tuesday, justifiably claiming it.
This was done on the Asian markets, but above all on futures trading on the American stock exchange.
The futures contract on the S&P 500 index recently indicated a start with 4460 points, noticeably below the repeated record high from Monday with 4497.71 points.
The FAZ index, which shows the breadth of the German stock market and which had already come back noticeably on Monday from the record high on Friday, is 0.9 percent in early trading at 2,816 points below the previous day's close.
The standard value index Dax, which had broken the mark of 16,000 points for the first time on Friday, fell 0.4 percent to 15,859 points.
The prices of Asian stocks had fallen during the night.
"Disappointing Chinese economic data, concerns about developments in Afghanistan, concerns about the impact of the Delta variant and an unexpectedly sharp drop in the NY Empire State Index for manufacturing weighed on risk appetite and fueled demand for safe havens," the analysts said the ANZ in a note.
The Nikkei index, comprising 225 values, closed 0.4 percent lower with 27,424 points.
The broader Topix index fell 0.5 percent and ended trading at 1916 points.
The losses in China were even more pronounced.
The CSI-300 index fell 2.1 percent to 4837 points.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell by just under 1.8 percent to 25,724 jobs.
Chinese industrial production grew by only 6.4 percent in July compared to the same month last year and thus less than expected.
The background to this is new measures to contain the wave of delta infections.
