Actions again slipped on Friday when the markets continued to react to uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of American prices.
European markets have experienced an additional fall while the exchanges began, with the FTSE 100 index of the United Kingdom and the CAC 40 of France more than 1%. Asian markets also decreased earlier.
The new radical rates announced by President Donald Trump sparked a fall in the world’s stock markets on Wednesday, the American S&P 500 having its worst day since the impact of Covid in 2020.
Traders fear that prices will increase prices and assess growth in the United States and abroad.
Trump told journalists on Thursday that he thought things were going “very well”, adding: “The markets will explode”.
But Friday, the markets continued to slip, with the German Dax index of more than 1%.
Trump said prices will stimulate economic growth in the United States, but some economists have warned against a slowdown in the United States and the world economy.
The director general of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, said that new prices “clearly represent a significant risk for global prospects at a time of slow growth”.
She said that the IMF was still examining the “macroeconomic implications” of the measures and underlined the need to avoid actions that could do more damage to the global economy.
