Global Stocks Hold Gains as North Korea Response on Talks Soothes Nerves
Global stocks remained resilient Friday, despite growing geopolitical concerns following President Donald Trump's cancellation of a summit with North Korea, as investors were soothed by a measured response from Pyongyang and calming volatility in U.S. stock markets. Trump's decision to scrap the much-anticipated June 12 meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as well as his recent moves on tariffs and criticism of ongoing trade talks with China, hasn't hit markets in a significant way this week, with the CBOE's key measure of equity volatility, the VIX index, falling to four-month lows and 10-year government bond yields holding around the 3% mark. An official response from Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan, which noted that North Korea was "highly appreciated President Trump for having made the bold decision, which any other U.S. presidents dared not, and made efforts for such a crucial event as the summit," and suggested talks could still place, provided markets with broader support Friday as investors head into a three-day weekend in the U.K. and the United States.

Global Stocks Slide as Trump's New Trade War Salvo Ignites Fresh Concern
World stocks slipped lower Thursday as investors reacted to yet another salvo in the renewed global trade war from President Donald Trump, although an easing of the U.S. dollar added some support to beaten down emerging market shares following a dovish statement on interest rates from the Federal Reserve. President Trump said Wednesday that he will launch a national security investigation into car and truck imports under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, the same pretext he used to slap 25% tariffs on non-American steel and aluminium earlier this year. "There is evidence suggesting that, for decades, imports from abroad have eroded our domestic auto industry," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement.
