Market Information Monday 7 April 2025

The Amsterdam stock market declined sharply last week following the announcement of broad global import tariffs, raising concerns about economic slowdown and trade disruptions. The euro gained over 1.5% against the US dollar, closing just above 1.10 on Friday, partly due to reduced confidence in the dollar after the US trade measures.

The UK government is responding to US import tariffs announced last week, with plans to unveil measures this week to protect the economy and jobs. The 10% levy on British goods is already disrupting trade, prompting companies to take action. The government is considering tax breaks, regulatory relief, and adjustments to climate targets, while continuing trade talks with the US.

The trading week will again be dominated by global trade tensions, following the U.S.’s heavy import tariffs and China’s retaliatory measures, heightening concerns about inflation. Investors will focus on inflation data from the U.S. and Germany, and central bank minutes, though these predate recent developments. Earnings season also kicks off, with markets watching for warnings about the economic impact of the trade war.

The 6M Euribor decreased with 2 basis points to 2.30% compared to previous business day. The 10Y Swap decreased with 4 basis points to 2.52% compared to previous business day.
