CAC 40 Rises Sharply
(RTTNews) - French stocks are notably higher on Tuesday, rebounding well after previous session's setback.
The mood is positive thanks to U.S. President Donald Trump indicating that some of the proposed tariffs scheduled for implementation on April may not go forward as planned, and some countries will be granted exemptions for tariffs.
Still, the U.S. President signaled plans to introduce new tariffs on automobile and pharmaceuticals in the near future.
