📊 European Market Close – October 14, 2025 European markets ended lower on Tuesday, except in London, as renewed US–China trade tensions weighed on sentiment. In France, the announcement by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to suspend the 2023 pension reform temporarily helped limit losses on the CAC 40 in late trading. 🇫🇷 $FRA40 : –0.18% → 7,919.62 pts 🇩🇪 DAX: –0.64% 🇬🇧 FTSE 100: +0.10% 🇪🇺 EuroStoxx 50: –0.30% | Stoxx 600: –0.39% The atmosphere was dominated by trade fears, after Washington and Beijing imposed reciprocal port fees on maritime freight companies — a new front in an already tense trade dispute. Both sides appear to be positioning themselves ahead of a possible Trump–Xi meeting at the APEC Summit in South Korea at the end of the month. Meanwhile, the IMF revised up its 2025 global growth forecast to 3.2% (vs 3.0%), citing resilient trade and improved financing conditions — but warned that a new tariff war could sharply slow production. In France, political stability remains under scrutiny: Lecornu’s compromise — pausing the pension reform until after the 2027 presidential election — secured temporary support from Socialist deputies, easing immediate censure risks and helping French bonds rally.
