European markets expected to open flat to higher on Tuesday
Trump's 15% global tariff on imports causing market volatility
European Parliament paused ratification of U.S.-EU trade deal in response
Trump warned of additional tariffs coming in next months
📖 Full Retelling
European markets are set for a broadly positive open on Tuesday as investors assess the global trading landscape following U.S. President Donald Trump's introduction of a new 15% tariff on all imports, with the UK's FTSE expected to remain unchanged while Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 are each forecast to rise approximately 0.25%, and Italy's FTSE MIB nearly 0.3%, according to IG data. Regional stocks closed lower on Monday as global markets reacted to Trump's decision to implement a blanket 15% global levy on imports to the U.S., with European officials expressing concern that the action could threaten existing trade deals with the United States. In response to the tariff announcement, the European Parliament announced Monday that it has paused work on ratifying the U.S.-EU trade deal agreed upon last summer, signaling potential tensions in transatlantic trade relations. The tariff news also impacted U.S. markets, with equities tumbling Monday as investors grappled with the new trade policy alongside persistent fears regarding AI disruptions to various industries. President Trump continued to assert his tariff authority on Monday, warning of higher duties for countries attempting to 'play games' after the Supreme Court struck down his 'reciprocal' tariffs the previous week, while also announcing that additional levies would be implemented in the coming months.
