US-EU Tariff Delay Lifts Markets; Mixue Group Jumps on Growth Optimism

Global Markets Overview

On Monday, European markets rebounded as US-EU trade tensions showed signs of easing. Tariff-sensitive auto stocks led the gains, and the euro strengthened, hitting its highest level in a month.
US stock markets were closed in observance of Memorial Day, but as of press time, US stock index futures were up nearly 1% across the board heading into Tuesday.

“The stock market seems to be dancing to Trump’s rhythm—threats followed by pullbacks, then swift rebounds,” analysts noted.
“Speculators are betting that Trump will eventually back off, and this time that playbook was confirmed again. The so-called ‘Trump model’ is increasingly seen as a winning strategy for aggressive investors.”
