The DAX futures were 0.08 percent into positive territory on Wednesday at 13,007 points, as market players held gains while risks of a profit-taking downward correction continued to rise.

On the data front, German manufacturing PMI index outperformed expectations at 60.5 for October, above a forecasted 60.2 reading. The services PMI index, however, fell short from an estimated reading of 55.6 at 55.2.

The DAX was up by 0.08 percent or 10.05 points at close in Frankfurt to 13,013.19 points. The German benchmarks traded in different directions during the session, influenced by upward pressure from food & beverages, telecommunications and basic resources.
