Tariff and AI Pressure in Global Markets Global markets are following a mixed course due to U.S.
President Donald Trump's aggressive stance on customs tariffs and concerns regarding the artificial intelligence sector.
Trump's statements suggesting that higher rates could be applied to countries that do not show flexibility regarding additional customs duties have been the primary factor increasing risk perception in the markets.
Geopolitical Developments and Iran Statement On the geopolitical front, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazım Garibabadi stated that his country has no intention of producing nuclear weapons.
While this statement somewhat reduced concerns about a potential military intervention on the U.S.-Iran line, regional tensions remain under market scrutiny.
