The Donald Trump’s tweets contributed to the increase in concerns related to the intensification of the ongoing war in this region which may have led to the escalation of the conflict between the US and Russia.

The last week of March brought increases in the most important global stock market indices. During the whole past week, the DJI rose by 2.4%, the S&P500 went up by 2% and the NASDAQ soared by 1%. In Europe, the German DAX took off by 1.8%, the French CAC40 grew by 1.4% and the British FTSE250 increased by 0.7%. The market sentiment improved last week. However, the risk of a trade war has been still a burden for the financial markets, especially since China has imposed retaliatory duties on the American goods.
