Global equity markets rose to three-week highs on Monday amid hopes that tariff pressures are easing, while uncertainty over U.S. trade policy weighed on the dollar, according to Reuters. European stocks rose, U.S. stock futures trimmed losses, and Asian shares made modest gains at the start of a busy week featuring major corporate earnings and U.S. jobs data. Trade tensions remained a major focus, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent did not confirm President Donald Trump's claims of progress with China. Analysts warned that ongoing uncertainty would likely slow global growth by undermining business and consumer confidence.
