European stock markets continued to register sharp losses in today's trading, further deepening the wave of declines witnessed by the markets amid growing fears about the repercussions of the protectionist trade policies insisted upon by the ex-US president
At the close of the trading session, the STOXX600 index, which measures the performance of the 600 largest stocks in Europe, recorded a significant drop of 4.5%. This sharp decline reflects the state of anxiety and pessimism prevailing among investors regarding the future of the global economy in light of escalating threats of new tariffs and potential trade wars
This European decline comes amid noticeable fluctuations in US stocks during today's trading. While some US indices tried to recover some of their losses at the beginning of the session, they quickly returned to experience volatility between gains and losses, reflecting the overall uncertainty prevailing in global markets.
Analysts attribute the continued selling pressure on European markets in particular to fears that the trade policies of the ex-US president, which include imposing tariffs on imports from European countries, will cause significant damage to European exports and undermine economic growth in the region
It is worth noting that the recent statements by the ex-US president regarding his intention to escalate "trade wars" if he returns to the White House have sparked a wave of concern in global economic circles, as investors fear that these steps will lead to a slowdown in global trade, increased inflation, and disruption of supply chains.
In conclusion, the performance of European markets today demonstrates the sensitivity of the global economy to news and developments related to trade policies, and the extent of the impact of these policies on investor confidence and investment trends. The question remains whether the markets will witness further declines amid this ongoing uncertainty
