Global equity markets see quite an ‘upbeat tone' following Trump's EU tariffs decision
Global equity markets have seen quite an 'upbeat tone' over the last couple of days after US President Donald Trump delayed his 50 per cent tariffs on the European Union, according to CommSec's Tom Piotrowski. 'That saw other markets do quite well, but Wall Street was off for a long weekend on Monday, so this is the first opportunity in the floor session if you like that they've had to respond to this news,' he told Sky News Australia. 'The futures were higher in after-hours trade, but US markets were able to build on already solid gains.'
