08:16⇢Markets Surge As Trump Retreats
⌨The newspapers report extensively on market recovery following Trump's unexpected pause in his trade war (AD.nl, Het Financieele Dagblad, NRC, Reformatorisch Dagblad). The AEX index jumped 7% after opening, following the S&P 500's strongest rise since 2008, though initial gains were partially lost after a chaotic start caused by a buying wave (Het Financieele Dagblad, Reformatorisch Dagblad). According to NRC, market pressure, including shifts in US treasury markets, ultimately forced Trump to adjust his trade policies. Meanwhile, RTL Nieuws reports a rare drop in Dutch housing prices due to increased supply from former rental properties.
