US equity index futures jump higher to open the new week's trade - EU/US trade deal

  • The EU and US announced a trade deal framework on Sunday, EUR gapped higher, now its equities turn
Tidal wave

ES and NQ, and others, futures are open for trade on Globex to begin the new week:

  • ES +0.4%
  • NQ + 0.6%

(those numbers will have changed by the time I hit publish, and continue to change as the session unfolds, but you get the idea).

A US official released some remarks timed to coincide with the market open (not a coincidence, I assure you!), in brief:

  • EU agreed to 15% tariffs on cars, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals
  • EU accepted us maintaining 50% tariffs on steel, aluminium
  • EU agreed to open markets to nearly all products
  • Trump pushed $1tln US energy deal, settled at $750bn
