BERLIN/FRANKFURT, June 26 (Reuters) - The DAX top-30 index looked set to open 0.3 percent higher on Monday, according to premarket data from brokerage Lang & Schwarz at 0609 GMT.
The following are some of the factors that may move German stocks:
ALLIANZ
Indicated 0.2 percent higher
Allianz has agreed to sell its 90 percent stake in private bank Oldenburgische Landesbank (OLB) to U.S. private equity firm Apollo for 300 million euros ($336 million), it said late on Friday.
COMMERZBANK
Indicated 0.5 percent higher
Commerzbank customers in Germany were unable to withdraw cash from ATMs or use their EC cards for payments for much of Saturday due to a maintenance operation that took longer than expected. Commerzbank said all services were restored at 1600 local time and apologised to its customers via Facebook.
DAIMLER
Indicated unchanged
An investigation into possible fraud linked to diesel emissions is "far far advanced", Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche told Deutschlandfunk in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
DEUTSCHE BANK
Indicated 0.3 percent higher
UBS was excluded from Deutsche Bank's rights issue after the German lender learned its Swiss rival had been trying to poach Asian wealth management staff, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the situation.
E.ON, RWE, UNIPER
E.ON indicated 0.2 percent higher
RWE indicated 0.4 percent higher
Uniper indicated unchanged
The German government is due to sign the contract for the financing of a nuclear waste fund with power utilities on Monday, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported on Saturday.
RWE's finance chief declined to comment in Boersen-Zeitung at the weekend on whether RWE could be interested in buying E.ON's stake in Uniper, or a stake in Steag, but said he was pleased there was suddenly so much fantasy about the future of the market. "We can afford to sit back and examine all options in peace," he said.
LUFTHANSA, AIR BERLIN
Lufthansa indicated 0.4 percent higher
Air Berlin indicated 8.9 percent lower
Lufthansa sees no limit to the number of planes and crews it could lease from Air Berlin, its chief executive told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, amid criticism that support for its ailing rival is a stealth takeover attempt.
MUNICH RE
Indicated 0.3 percent higher
Global reinsurers have written to the European Commission to ask it to ensure mutual access between British and European Union reinsurance markets after Britain leaves the bloc due to worries about market disruption, according to extracts from a letter seen by Reuters.
VOLKSWAGEN
Indicated 0.2 percent higher
A lawyer for former Volkswagen manager Heinz-Jakob Neusser, who is sought in the United States in connection with the carmaker's diesel emissions-cheating scandal, has advised him not to leave Germany, she told Bild Zeitung. In separate comments to Welt am Sonntag, she added that she expected a criminal process to be launched also in Germany, but not for many months yet.
Volkswagen's Slovak unit said on Sunday it had reached a wage deal with a trade union to end a six-day strike that has hit production at the country's biggest private employer.
Also, Audi's management board, including Chief Executive Rupert Stadler, has been sharply criticised by company managers, Bild am Sonntag reported on Sunday, citing an internal dossier.
HANNOVER RE
Indicated 0.2 percent higher
Hannover Re will reach its profit targets despite expecting low interest rates to prevail in the euro zone for the next five to 10 years, as it expects to make returns of at least 2.7 percent on capital markets, its finance chief told Euro am Sonntag.

Indicated 0.5 percent higher
