(Reuters) – The main European scholarships are progressing clearly on Monday at the start of the session on Monday, relieved by the additional period granted Sunday to the European Union (EU) by US President Donald Trump to negotiate on customs duties.
In Paris, the CAC 40 earns 1.01% at 7,812.01 points around 07:24 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax advances 1.44%.
The Eurostoxx 50 index takes 1.29%, the FTSEUROFIRST 300 0.84%and the Stoxx 600 increase of 0.84%.
The London Stock Exchange is closed on Monday due to a public holiday, which reduces exchanges.
Investors are relieved at the start of the week by the turnaround of Donald Trump on customs duties, the tenant of the White House having pushed the deadline on Sunday to the deadline for a possible increase in from the European Union (EU).
Donald Trump had brandished new threats to customs duties last week by targeting Brussels, which would be targeted by a surcharge of 50% on its products exported to the United States from June 1, saying that trade negotiations did not progress quickly enough.
Washington’s last flip-flop in its commercial policy comes after a telephone interview with Donald Trump with the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who told her that the EU needed more time to reach an agreement.
This additional period is a breath of fresh air for investors who, in addition to commercial and budgetary uncertainty in the United States, await a week rich in French, German and American inflation indicators, as well as the results of the NVIDIA technological giant.
At the values, the French equipment manufacturers Valeo and Forvia advance by 3.6% and 2.5%, carried by the latest developments on the commercial front.
The automotive sector, one more affected on Friday by the threats of Donald Trump, bounces on Monday, with Stellantis, Mercedes, BMW, Renault and Volkswagen winning between 1.4% and 2.3% during the first exchanges.
The semiconductor sector is also growing, with Besi, Ams International and AMSL up around 2%.
Luxury, very exposed to the American market, is also in green.
