FX.co ★ European Shares Dip on Fresh US Tariffs

European equities edged lower on Tuesday as investors weighed the impact of US President Donald Trump’s latest tariff measures. The EURO STOXX 50 slipped 0.2% to 6,100, while the broader STOXX Europe 600 also lost 0.2%, trading around 627 points. Sentiment weakened after Trump signed an executive order on Friday introducing a new 10% tariff, just hours after the US Supreme Court blocked several of his earlier proposed import levies. According to Bloomberg, White House officials are also preparing a formal order to lift the tariff rate further to 15%, adding to trade-policy uncertainty. Investors remained cautious as well amid growing concerns about potential disruption from artificial intelligence. On the economic front, fresh data showed that EU new car registrations declined in January for the first time since June 2025, adding to pressure on the automotive sector.
