LONDON – European stock markets are expected to open this week in negative territory as global markets react to US President Donald Trump’s latest global tariff policy.
british FTSE The index opened 0.2% lower, with Germany’s dachshund France, down 0.7% CAC40 Italy decreased by 0.4%. FTSE MIB According to IG data, it fell 0.45%.
European markets ended last week higher after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against large portions of President Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs, but President Trump announced over the weekend that he would introduce new 15% global tariffs, up from 10%.
President Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the new tariffs are “effective immediately.” He warned Saturday that additional levies would continue.
“As President of the United States, I will immediately take into effect raising the 10% global tariff on countries, many of which have been ‘stripped’ from the United States for decades, to the fully permissible and legally tested level of 15% without retaliation (until I showed up!),” he wrote.
U.S. stock futures fell Sunday night as new tariffs increased market uncertainty about the outlook for inflation and global growth. Asia-Pacific markets rose overnight despite tariff uncertainty.
The new trading week got off to a quiet start with no profits expected on Monday. On the data front, Germany’s Ifo Business Survey will be released, and Italy’s latest inflation data will be released.
