PARIS (Reuters) – The main European scholarships folded up on Monday at the start of the session on Monday, uncertainty around American customs intentions remaining high, while a price dynamic indicator is expected during the day.

Donald Trump’s real intentions on the United States’s trade policy remains unclear while the date of April 2 approaches, nicknamed “the day of the Liberation” by the American president.

The United States should primarily target the countries with which the country has a strong trade deficit.

“Even if many news is integrated into prices, the market cannot be sheltered from a new surprise from the Trump administration”, note the strategists of Natixis IM who recall that the ads of April 2 are “likely to change the valuations for the next months”.

The markets are also waiting for the publication of preliminary inflation for March in Germany during the session, which will help understand the price trajectory in the euro zone.

Inflation for the block will be published Tuesday.

At the values, Maurel and Prom falls 10% after revocation by the American OFAC of its license in Venezuela, which led Portzamparc to lower its recommendation to “keep”.
