European markets are expected to open in positive territory on Monday, with key indices showing upward momentum. IG forecasts suggest the FTSE 100 will rise 14 points to 8,667, Germany’s DAX could gain 83 points, France’s CAC 40 may climb 9 points, and Italy’s FTSE MIB is set to jump 171 points.
Investors will closely monitor preliminary PMI data from major European economies for insights into business activity. Meanwhile, Asian markets traded mostly higher, though uncertainty remains over US tariff policies.
US stock futures also signaled a higher open, extending last week’s gains. President Trump hinted at possible flexibility in his tariff strategy but avoided confirming exemptions, keeping markets cautiously optimistic.
