German stocks fall on Japan's trade data
German stocks dropped amid higher-than-expected trade deficit in Japan and before European leaders meetings this week. The DAX Index decreased 1% to 7,017.7, the biggest drop since Aug.2. Meanwhile, the gauge surged 17% from the year's lowest level on June 5 amid Mario Draghi's pledge to sustain the euro.
