FX.co ★ European Markets Set for Muted Open

European equity markets faced a cautious opening on Monday as investors continued to assess the ongoing global trade tensions. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the potential imposition of an additional 10% tariff on nations supporting what he termed "anti-American policies within BRICS." Traders are also anticipating new data releases, specifically the Eurozone retail sales figures and the UK's Halifax house price index, to gauge the market's next moves. In premarket activity, Euro Stoxx 50 futures gained 0.1%, whereas Stoxx 600 futures remained largely unchanged.
