Global stock markets are navigating between cautious optimism and uncertainty this Tuesday, as Donald Trump’s latest announcements on tariffs continue to rattle markets around the world.
While Europe sees a slight recovery, fears remain high about the potential impact of US trade measures. In Asia, investors fear a prolonged trade war, while the automotive sector, symbolized by giants such as Tesla, is beginning to feel the direct effects of these new taxes. Through this prism of tariffs, the luster of stock markets and companies is fading, revealing the flaws in an increasingly fragile global economy.

The positive effect of Trump’s statements, including the possibility of a reprieve for certain countries and a postponement of taxes, temporarily eased investors’ fears.
