Global stock markets are facing a wave of uncertainty today, and the Dutch AEX index is no exception. Shares of major players like $ASML (+1.36%) and $ADYEN (-1.14%) are under pressure, with ASML notably hit after a critical analyst report. Meanwhile, investors are eyeing key U.S. economic figures expected later this week, including the crucial jobs report. A mix of recent signals—such as declining GDP and rising unemployment claims—has led to caution across global markets.
Adding to the tension is the renewed trade friction between the U.S. and the EU. Washington has imposed fresh import tariffs of up to 25% on European goods like steel and aluminum, prompting swift countermeasures from Brussels targeting iconic American products such as jeans, motorcycles, and whiskey. These escalating tariffs are fueling fears of a broader trade war, which could weigh heavily on transatlantic business and consumer prices.
Interestingly, capital seems to be shifting away from crypto, reinforcing a “risk-off” sentiment. The red day reflects not panic, but strategic hesitation. $BTC (-0.35%)
$ETH (-1.07%)
$IBTU (-0.36%)
