Markets in Asia and Europe ticked higher on Tuesday, as U.S. futures signalled a potentially narrow rise, amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s tariff plan.<\/p>\n

Trump’s administration said on Friday that many consumer electronics would be exempt from his wide-ranging reciprocal tariffs, an announcement that sent global markets higher<\/a> on Monday. Trump on Monday also signalled a willingness to further ease tariffs, saying he is looking to “help some of the car companies” in the aftermath of 25% auto levies.<\/p>\n
