Trade tensions amongst market movers today – Danske Bank

Analysts at Danske Bank suggest that we have a fairly quiet day and week on the data front (the most important releases are inflation numbers in the US and the euro area on Friday), so market attention will focus most notably on the trade tensions between the US and its big trading partners Europe and China.
