MARKET REPORT

US President Donald Trump ended the week by disappointing global investors, sending shares down across Europe.

The FTSE 100 closed the day down 47.03 points, or 0.64%, to 7,359.38 after the President denied claims that all tariffs would be rolled back if he reaches a trade deal with China.

France’s Cac was broadly flat at 5,889.7 points, down 1.28 points. Germany’s Dax fell 0.46% to 13,228.56.

“The US president said he has not agreed to scrapping all the tariffs and this encouraged some mild selling of stocks. The door was left open to a partial roll-back on tariffs and that’s why the decline in stocks hasn’t been that bad,” said CMC Market analyst David Madden.

The FTSE 100 partly suffered as it was pulled lower by miners, including and who count on China’s massive construction market for much of their sales. Chinese imports fell for the sixth month in a row in October, according to new figures.

“Major mining and oil stocks are lower today in the wake of the Chinese trade data,” Madden said.
