Posted on 3 April, 2018 by Administrator

Global equity markets fell 2.8% (in € terms) during March, in what was another volatile month for investors, following the falls experienced in the preceding month. Eurozone equities fell 2.1%, with investors reacting badly in early March to President Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to the U.S, sparking fears of a global trade war.
