  • For the second day in a row, European stock markets suffered broad-based losses, with the exception of PSI 20 which experienced no change. The S&P 500 also declined, amid increasing trade tensions between the U.S. and China (President Donald Trump directed the U.S. Trade Representative to prepare new tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports).
  • In Argentina, the main stock index dropped more than 8% after the changes in some key government departments and in the presidency of the national central bank.
  • In fixed-income markets, yields on long term European sovereign bonds continued to decrease, especially in the periphery. In the U.S., yields on Treasuries were unchanged. In this context, the euro maintained its value against the dollar above $1.16.
  • The barrel of Brent partially recovered the decline registered on Friday and nudged above $75.
