PARIS (Reuters) – The main European scholarships are expected to decrease on Tuesday at the opening, the hopes of a rapid resolution of the Israeli -Iranian conflict having faded after a new night of tensions between the two countries and the call of the President to the evacuation of Tehran.
The term contracts on indices suggest an opening down 0.74% for the Parisian CAC 40, 0.69% for the Dax in Frankfurt and 0.57% for the FTSE in London. The Stoxx 600 should open on a decline of 0.62%.
The growing uncertainty concerning the conflict in the Middle East pushes investors to the refuge values ​​while the attacks between Israel and Iran continue without any appeasement of tensions being in sight.
The attacks between Iran and Israel intensified on Monday, Israel targeting the Iranian public television channel and the enrichment of the uranium of the Islamic Republic. Revolutionary guards promised that Iranian attacks against Israel were going to last until the early morning on Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump, who left the G7 summit earlier than expected, called on Monday “everyone” to immediately evacuate Tehran and reaffirmed that Iran should have signed an agreement on his nuclear program with the United States.
On Monday, Reuters reported that Iran had asked Qatar, from Saudi Arabia and Oman to intervene with Donald Trump to put pressure on Israel for an immediate ceasefire, which gave birth to the hope of a de-escalation and calmed the rise in oil prices, but the situation remains very volatile.
“One thing is clear: the situation remains very uncertain and the risks of climbing should not be ignored,” said Maybank analysts in a note.
The group of seven (G7) expressed support for Israel and describes Iran as a source of instability in the Middle East, in a statement published Monday evening.
In the midst of geopolitical tensions and commercial uncertainties, investors are preparing for a series of central banks meetings this week.
The first of them, the Bank of Japan (BOJ), left its interest rates unchanged on Tuesday, as expected, and decided to slow down the pace of its bond purchases from the next fiscal year, while maintaining its current plan to reduce bond emissions that run until March 2026.
