Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended the session with major benchmarks closed in ‎observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday ‎on which the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq suspend ‎trading for the day. This halted regular equity trading in the U.S. ‎for the holiday, with markets and bond trading paused until the ‎next business day. ‎

European equities ended lower as broader risk sentiment ‎weakened amid renewed trade-related tensions after U.S. tariff ‎threats on several European countries. Export-sensitive sectors ‎underperformed, leaving the FTSE 100 down -0.4%, the DAX ‎declined -1.3%, the CAC 40 fell -1.8%, and the EURO STOXX ‎‎600 slipped -1.2% on the session. ‎

 

Asian markets are trading with mixed results as regional ‎benchmarks reflect divergent flows and ongoing global policy ‎concerns, with China’s SHCOMP up 0.3% and South Korea’s ‎KOSPI gaining 1.3% while Japan’s Nikkei 225 slipped -0.7% and ‎Hong Kong’s Hang Seng eased -1.0%. These moves track select ‎gains in mainland and export-oriented stocks against weakness in ‎Japan and Hong Kong.‎
