European stock markets start with significant losses, marked by the tariff war initiated this weekend by Donald Trump, who imposed additional taxes on US imports from Mexico, China, and Canada, with the latter responding immediately. The American president has promised to soon impose tariffs on the European Union, which has also warned of retaliation. One of the effects was the appreciation of the Dollar against currencies like the Euro, as the situation increases inflationary pressures in the US and may lead the Fed to halt interest rate cuts. The Technology and Banking sectors are among the most affected. The cryptocurrency sector is experiencing a sharp decline, with Bitcoin correcting down to around $95,000.
