10:16 (08:16)โขMarkets Surge As Trump Retreats
โจThe newspapers report extensively on market recovery following Trump's unexpected pause in his trade war (AD.nl, Het Financieele Dagblad, NRC, Reformatorisch Dagblad). The AEX index jumped 7% after opening, following the S&P 500's strongest rise since 2008, though initial gains were partially lost after a chaotic start caused by a buying wave (Het Financieele Dagblad, Reformatorisch Dagblad). According to NRC, market pressure, including shifts in US treasury markets, ultimately forced Trump to adjust his trade policies. Meanwhile, RTL Nieuws reports a rare drop in Dutch housing prices due to increased supply from former rental properties.
