German stocks are getting slammed Friday morning. The DAX is down by more than 2% today, and down more than 10% since Sept. 19.

Th index is now at its lowest in a year, hovering around 8,800.

"Despite closing up last night somehow after a whipsaw day, Europe's powerhouse economy has given the impression of leading the selloff from the front," IG's Will Hedden said in a note.
