✨ RichStrike Markets – Weekly Insights (July 28 – August 1, 2025)
⚠️ Key Insight of the Week
U.S. and EU clinch a framework trade deal imposing a flat 15% tariff on European Union goods entering the U.S., successfully averting the previously threatened 30% tariff retaliation. — Reuters, July 27, 2025
This agreement reduces global trade risk and signals a market-friendly shift. Europe also commits to increased U.S. energy and military imports. While China negotiations remain pending, this development gives equities an upward bias heading into the week.
🛍️ Takeaway: With trade tensions easing and new capital flows expected, global risk sentiment improves, supporting equities — particularly cyclical sectors.
