General market situation:
European stock prices have plummeted after China announced the introduction of retaliatory tariffs on the US at a rate of 34%, threatening that the global tariff war will reach an even larger scale. It should be remembered that the market is still waiting for the response of the European Union, which could directly hit American BigTech by imposing a digital tax. All indices in Europe are currently reaching multi-month lows.
