Good morning from London, and welcome to CNBC’s live blog covering all the action and business news in European financial markets on Monday.
Futures data from IG suggest a negative start to the new trading week for European bourses, with London’sFTSE 100 seen opening 0.1% lower, France’s CAC 40 down 0.3%, Germany’sDAX down 0.4%, and Italy’sFTSE MIB 0.35% lower.
European markets have been on tenterhooks since U.S. President Donald Trump announced earlier in July that he would impose a 30% tariff on goods imported from the EU starting Aug. 1. The EU has said it hopes to strike a trade deal before then but an agreement remains elusive.
On Sunday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Aug. 1 the “hard deadline”for countries to start paying tariffs, although he also added that “nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1.”
