PARIS (Reuters) – The main European scholarships are expected on a prudent note on Monday at the opening while commercial discussions between the United States and China must be held during the day in London in a context of persistent tensions between the first two world economic powers.

According to the first indications available, the Parisian CAC 40 would be practically stable (-0.01%) at the opening.

The term contracts report a drop of 0.13% for the Dax in Frankfurt, by 0.02% for the FTSE in London and 0.05% for the Stoxx 600.

On Friday, Donald Trump announced that the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the trade secretary Howard Lutnick and his representative to the Jamieson Greer trade would be part of an American delegation present in London to discuss a trade agreement between the United States and China.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Deputy Prime Minister He Lifeng would be present at this meeting.

“This meeting should be fine,” predicted Donald Trump who spoke Thursday with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

If the United States and China concluded a 90-day commercial truce on May 12 after having worn some of their reciprocal customs duties beyond 100%, tensions remain lively between the two countries. Donald Trump notably accused the Chinese government of having “completely raped” the agreement concluded last month, charges rejected by Beijing.

“Trade policy remains the main macroeconomic uncertainty,” said Kyle Rodda, market analyst at Capital.com. “Signs of resumption of negotiations could give new momentum to the markets to start the week.”
