European stock markets are up, while US futures indices are declining.

European markets made a positive start today, influenced by strong support seen on Wall Street yesterday. However, selling pressure dominates in U.S. futures indices. In Europe, DAX is up 0.08%, CAC-40 by 0.45%, FTSE 100 by 0.32%, and FTSE MIB by 0.42%. The Stoxx 600 index also shows a 0.2% increase compared to yesterday.

Looking at U.S. futures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 0.14%, S&P 500 by 0.2%, and Nasdaq 100 by 0.35%. Analysts highlight that President Trump’s upcoming announcements on auto import tariffs and the confusing discussions about comprehensive reciprocal tariffs effective April 2 are complicating market direction. Graham Chin, an investment strategist at EBSI Private, stated, "Investors remain cautious regarding upcoming tariff policies, and the lack of detailed information contributes to ongoing uncertainty, leaving many sidelined."
