Stock Market Rally Stalls as Wall Street Digests US-EU Trade Deal
- On Sunday, at Trump's golf resort in Scotland, officials from America and the EU revealed a broad trade deal that includes a 15% tariff on most European goods entering the U.S.
- The agreement followed months of difficult negotiations, with Trump threatening a 30% tariff if no deal was reached before an August 1 deadline.
- The deal includes zero tariffs on aircraft, chemicals, and certain drugs, EU purchases of $250 billion in U.S. LNG annually, and $600 billion European investments in the U.S., while steel tariffs remain at 50%.
- European Commission President von der Leyen acknowledged that agreeing to a 15% tariff was the most favorable outcome achievable, highlighting that the arrangement helps preserve access to the U.S. market and offers stability for businesses on both sides.
- The agreement eased risks of a trade war, calming markets, but pending tariffs on pharmaceuticals and chips, and continued steel tariffs, suggest negotiations will continue amid cautious optimism.
