European stocks with Asian exposure and chip makers gain the most as sterling falls below $1.27 for first time since mid-January

London — Stocks markets gained on Tuesday, with chip makers and stocks exposed to Asia among the best performers, after Washington temporarily eased trade restrictions imposed on China’s Huawei last week.

“The Huawei extension is in some sense providing a relief rally as it eases the worst fears of market participants that we are drifting towards a fully-fledged trade war,” said Aberdeen Standard’s head of global strategy, Andrew Milligan. In Asia, gains in heavyweight Samsung Electronics helped South Korea’s Kospi stock index close up 0.3%.“Equity markets remain hostage to developments in the ongoing US-China trade battle,” said Rupert Thompson, head of research at Kingswood. “We still believe some kind of deal will eventually be reached — most likely at a Xi/Trump meeting at the G20 Summit in late June.”
