Global stock markets have experienced an upswing following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of potential tariff adjustments on foreign auto imports. European and Asian markets responded positively, with key indices, including Germany's DAX and Britain's FTSE 100, witnessing gains.

The auto sector led the rally in Europe, bolstered by the prospect of eased tariffs. Analysts remain cautious amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump's trade strategies, which continue to influence market dynamics and the broader economic outlook.
