Market Recovery Amid Trade War Concerns

After enduring days of sharp declines triggered by the United States President Donald Trump's introduction of retaliatory tariffs, major European stock markets opened with notable gains on Tuesday. This positive shift comes as the European Union prepares to launch its countermeasures on April 15, with some officials hinting at an "economic bazooka" as a potential response.
