Stock markets across Asia remained largely stable on Monday. President Trump postponed his threat to impose 50% tariffs on EU goods from June 1 to July 9. This decision offers a temporary reprieve ahead of crucial negotiations in his trade policy. The MSCI’s broad Asia-Pacific ex-Japan index slightly dipped by 0.07%, while European futures surged by over 1.5%.

Markets React to Tariff News

Trump’s move to delay the EU tariff deadline came after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen requested additional time to negotiate a robust deal. Traders are keen on tracking these critical policy deadlines. Dates like July 9 are essential for upcoming U.S.-EU trade talks, which could redefine trade dynamics significantly.

Positive Shift for the Euro

The euro began to rise against the dollar on Monday. The tariff delay and growing investor focus on Europe and Asia are due to recession fears in the U.S. The EUR/USD trading pairs climbed above 1.10.
