Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 index has gained 5.6 per cent since January 17, the last trading day before Trump re-entered the White House, while on Wall Street the S&P 500 has risen 2.5 per cent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has advanced 2.2 per cent.
44% : The EU had been braced to be a major target of Trump's America First policies after the US president pledged to impose across-the-board tariffs on the bloc, but none have yet taken effect.
42% : The unexpectedly strong performance of European indices has been driven by Trump's decision not to impose immediate tariffs on the EU, as well as the prospect of peace talks in Ukraine, said analysts.
34% : Trump has warned that imports from Europe may be next in line after the US moved to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and an additional 10 per cent levy against Chinese goods.
