Global stock markets jump after trade deal limits US tariffs on EU to 15% business live
Briefly

Global stock markets have rallied after a trade deal between the US and EU eased uncertainty for companies. European markets surged, with Germany's Dax rising by 0.8% and France's Cac 40 gaining 1%. The deal imposes a 15% US tariff on most EU imports but is considered bearable compared to the previously threatened 30% tariff. The EU will also purchase $750bn in US energy and military equipment, aligning with geopolitical moves post-Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Asian markets mostly rose, although Japan's Nikkei 225 fell by 1% amid trade deal concerns.
