Tariffs are back in the spotlight at the start of the week, with Wall Street closed

Against a broader backdrop characterized by a neutral but improving sentiment, the tariff issue comes back into focus. The week opens with a kind of cold shower for financial markets, fueling renewed uncertainty and volatility. With U.S. equity markets closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the burden of the “Greenland issue” weighs mainly on Asian and European markets.
