Fact of the day
Donald Trump's announcements scared the financial markets less than 24 hours after the announcement of the appointment of Scott Bessent as head of the American Treasury Department. An announcement which nevertheless reassured the markets. However, last night, the new American president-elect confirmed that he wanted to increase, from the start of his mandate, customs duties on products coming from China, Canada and Mexico.

These statements caused stock prices to plunge around the world. For its part, the dollar has recovered.
