Market Wrap International:

Major markets finished lower globally as renewed U.S. tariff ‎threats and elevated geopolitical tensions weighed on investor ‎sentiment across regions. U.S. equities ended the last session of ‎the week with modest declines ahead of a long weekend as ‎earnings season ramped up and risk sentiment softened, with ‎major indexes slipping amid caution over potential policy shifts ‎and trade tensions. In Europe, equities also ended weaker on ‎growing concerns that escalating tariff rhetoric could dampen ‎economic growth and cross-border trade, though some ‎benchmarks had previously sat near record highs earlier in the ‎month. Asian markets were broadly softer in the most recent ‎session, with major Asian benchmarks under pressure as risk ‎appetite waned on global trade policy uncertainty and safe-haven ‎flows supported precious metals.‎
