World stocks tick higher while Trump offers little clarity on trade war

"Markets often perform better in the expectation phase than after confirmation when the details can get picked apart."European markets ended higher amid reports Trump will avoid imposing tariffs on EU cars, which would spark another round of retaliation. The outgoing president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker last week said he believed the United States would not impose new tariffs on imported European cars in the coming days.
