European markets thrive while US struggles with tariffs

nzherald.co.nz

European markets are showing strong growth, with shares up over 8% in 2025. This contrasts with the US, where the S&P 500 index has dropped more than 5% due to concerns over tariffs and trade tensions. Germany's DAX index has performed particularly well, rising more than 12%. Increased consumer confidence and interest in non-US shares have contributed to this positive trend in Europe. Tariffs are seen as a potential challenge for the European economy, but they may also encourage unity and reforms within the region.
