(Reuters)-Wall Street is expected in green on Monday and European scholarships are advancing mid-session, while investors analyze the trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States announced the day before.
Futures in New York indices report an opening of Wall Street up 0.15% for the Dow Jones, 0.25% for Standard & Poor’s-500 and 0.44% for NASDAQ.
In Paris, the CAC 40 earns 0.59% at 7,881.02 points around 10:21 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax advances 0.33% and in London, the FTSE 100 rises by 0.11%.
The Eurostoxx 50 index increased by 0.83%, the FTSEUROFirst 300 advances by 0.66%and the Stoxx 600 increased by 0.61%.
At the start of the week, customs duties are at the center of attention. On Sunday, the European Union (EU) and the United States concluded a commercial agreement establishing customs duties of 15% on most of the products of the 27 Member States while President Donald Trump threatened to impose 30% from European exports from August 1.
However, the markets are sailing in a climate mixed with optimism and uncertainty, while investors are waiting for more details.
According to several French political leaders, even if the agreement has advantages, especially for certain sectors, it is unbalanced and does not include a section on services. “It is a dark day that when an alliance of free peoples, gathered to assert their values and defend their interests, resolves to submission,” wrote the French Prime Minister, François Bayrou, on the social network X.
According to the declaration made on Monday by a European Commission official, discussions continue concerning possible exemptions on customs duties for the wine and spirits sectors.
In addition, the United States and China will resume its commercial negotiations on Monday in Stockholm, Sweden, in order to extend their truce in terms of customs duties.
In addition to tensions on the commercial front, the week promises to be rich in events, with in particular the monetary policy meetings of the American Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ), the monthly employment report in the United States and a new avalanche of financial results on both sides of the Atlantic.
