FX.co ★ European Markets Poised for Positive Start

European stock markets were poised for a positive start on Monday, driven by investor anticipation for preliminary PMI data from across the region, expected to provide fresh insights into the region's economic condition. Market optimism also improved following reports that U.S. President Donald Trump might adopt a less stringent approach to his planned reciprocal tariffs, which are scheduled for implementation on April 2. Additionally, there are no significant earnings announcements expected from Europe for the day. Before the market opened, Euro Stoxx 50 futures advanced by 0.3%, while Stoxx 600 futures increased by 0.2%, reflecting similar gains in U.S. stock futures.
