Stock market today: Global shares trade mixed on continuing Trump tariff worries

Updated 2:26 PM GMT+5, February 10, 2025 TOKYO (AP) — Global shares were trading mixed on Monday, as investors found bargains despite worries about U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. France’s CAC 40 edged up 0.2% in early trading to 7,988.29, while Germany’s DAX rose 0.3% to 21,817.79. Britain’s FTSE 100 added 0.4% to 8,738.98. U.S. shares were set to drift higher with Dow futures rising 0.2% to 44,507.00. S&P 500 futures gained 0.3% to 6,067.50. In Asia, Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 finished little changed, rising less than 0.1% to 38,801.17. The Japanese government reported a record current account surplus last year of 29 trillion yen ($191 billion), underlining strong returns on overseas investments, boosted by a weak yen and recovering Japanese exports. The current account data, seen as a wide indicator for trade, grew nearly 30% from the previous year, to its highest since comparable records started being kept in 1985.
