FX.co ★ Europe Set for Strong Open on Trump Reversal

European equity markets were anticipated to open robustly on Thursday, recuperating from earlier declines in the week. The recovery was spurred by U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to retract plans for imposing tariffs on several European nations and dismiss the notion of employing military force to acquire Greenland. Trump announced the establishment of a framework for a prospective agreement concerning Greenland after discussions with NATO, although the specifics remain vague. It is speculated that this framework could pertain to mineral rights and the Golden Dome missile defense initiative. On Wednesday, the European Parliament suspended progressing with the final approval and execution of the EU-US trade deal, originally reached in July, as a protest against Trump’s previous threats. Concurrently, Denmark firmly declined any discussions regarding transferring its territory to the U.S. On Thursday, there are no significant economic reports or earnings releases expected in Europe. In premarket trading, futures for the Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 both indicated increases of at least 1%.
