On 3 June 2025, European and US stock markets closed with modest gains, reflecting cautious optimism driven by easing trade tensions and encouraging economic data. The day’s trading was shaped by the anticipation of a European Central Bank (ECB) rate cut and a reprieve in US tariff policies, though underlying uncertainties kept gains in check. Investors navigated a complex landscape of macroeconomic signals, with inflation data and corporate earnings providing additional context for market movements.

In Europe, the pan-European Stoxx 600 index closed marginally higher, up 0.01%, as major bourses posted gains. Germany’s DAX rose 0.64%, buoyed by positive sentiment following preliminary data showing eurozone inflation easing to 1.9% in May, below the ECB’s 2% target. This bolstered expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut at the ECB’s upcoming meeting on 5 June, with some economists suggesting further cuts could follow. France’s CAC 40 gained 0.33%, while the UK’s FTSE 100 edged up 0.13%, though peripheral markets like Spain’s IBEX 35 dipped 0.52%. Mining stocks weighed on sentiment in London, reflecting weaker economic signals from China, a key driver of global commodity demand. Despite these pressures, the delay of US tariffs on European imports until 9 July provided a temporary boost, easing fears of an immediate trade war escalation.

Across the Atlantic, US markets also closed in positive territory, building on May’s strong performance. The S&P 500 rose 0.41% to 5,935.94, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.67% to 19,242.61, driven by gains in technology and consumer discretionary sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added a modest 35.41 points, or 0.08%, closing at 42,305.48. The market’s resilience came despite heightened US-China trade tensions, with President Donald Trump accusing Beijing of violating a preliminary trade agreement. However, his decision to delay 50% tariffs on EU imports helped lift investor confidence, particularly in growth-sensitive sectors. Steel stocks, such as Cleveland-Cliffs, which surged 24%, and Nucor, up 10%, rallied after Trump doubled tariffs on steel imports to 50%, though this sparked concerns about retaliatory measures from the EU.

Economic data played a significant role in shaping sentiment. In the US, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index showed annual headline inflation at 2.1%, with core PCE rising 0.1%, aligning with expectations and reinforcing hopes of cooling inflation. In Europe, German consumer confidence improved, and durable goods orders exceeded forecasts, suggesting economic resilience despite tariff-related uncertainties. However, analysts warned that the broader impact of Trump’s trade policies could still dampen growth, with JPMorgan noting potential softness in economic activity over the coming months.

As trading closed, markets stood at a crossroads, balancing hope for monetary easing and trade détente against the risks of escalating global frictions. Investors now look to the ECB’s next moves and US trade policy developments, with both likely to shape the path ahead. For the moment, the modest gains signal cautious confidence, but the shadow of uncertainty looms large, urging vigilance in an unpredictable economic landscape.
