The world’s stock markets were in negative territory on Tuesday, caught in a double bind : the approach of the August 1 deadline for trade negotiations between the European Union and the United States, and the launch of a highly scrutinized quarterly earnings season.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

At midday, the CAC 40<\/strong> was down 0.34% at 7,782.66 points, extending the previous day’s decline (-0.31%). In Frankfurt, Milan<\/strong> and London<\/strong>, the trend was similar, with all the main European markets down between -0.3% and -0.5%.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Across the Atlantic, however, US indices continued their race to the top. The S&P 500<\/strong> broke through the symbolic 6,300-point barrier, buoyed by major technology companies such as Apple <\/strong>and Nvidia. <\/strong><\/p>\n

EU-US trade deal still uncertain<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The imminence of August 1<\/strong>, the date on which Washington threatens to impose 30% tariffs on certain European imports in the absence of a trade agreement, acts as a real sword of Damocles for the markets<\/strong>. The European Union still hopes to reach a compromise, but concrete progress has been slow in coming.<\/p>\n
