\n Stock market sell-off deepens as UK and seven countries reel from Trump tariff threat\n <\/p>\n

By\u00a0Sarah Taaffe-Maguire<\/a>, business and economics reporter<\/p>\n

There were signs it had started this morning, but now the stock market sell-off has deepened.<\/p>\n

Once again, the US’s threat of higher tariffs – taxes on imports – has sent share prices falling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eight European countries have been threatened with 10% tariffs from 1 February, a rate that would then climb to 25% on 1 June if no deal was in place for the US to purchase Greenland.<\/p>\n

The benchmark stock indexes of those countries – Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland – are among the hardest hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Denmark’s main stock index, the OMX Copenhagen 25, dropped 2.8%, Norway’s Oslo Bors lost more than 1.6%, and Finland’s Helsinki 25 shed 1.75%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sweden’s main stock market index, the Stockholm 30, has lost nearly 1.9%, France’s CAC 40 is down 1.5%, the German DAX dropped 1.25% and the Dutch\u00a0Amsterdam Index shed 1.5%.<\/p>\n

The UK’s FTSE 100 has had one of the smallest falls at 0.5%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While US markets are shut due to a bank holiday, pre-market trading shows the tech-heavy Nasdaq losing 1.5%, and the S&P 500, the US index containing the most valuable companies in the world down 1.1%.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stock market sell-off deepens as UK and seven countries reel from Trump tariff threat By\u00a0Sarah Taaffe-Maguire, business and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[114,184,85,46],"class_list":{"0":"post-246980","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-economy","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
