FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - Siemens shares came under pressure at midday on Tuesday. With a drop of more than 5 percent they approached the 50-day line again.

A Borsianer referred to an investor conference of the Bank of America, at which the Munich company had struck molltone. Order growth is poor, especially demand from China, he said. Shares in Schneider Electric and ABB also reacted negatively.

Siemens shares reached a record high of almost 187 euros on Friday. They had thus gained ten percent in the current year./ag/jha/
