Cailian News, March 3 (Editor Shi Zhengcheng)Under the influence of various policy news and geopolitical games, the global investment market kicked off in March. European markets were higher on expectations of huge defense investment, and U.S. stocks that were weak last week also strengthened slightly before Monday’s session.
As of press time, Dow Jones index futures (2503 contracts) were up 0.30%, S & P 500 index futures were up 0.45%, and Nasdaq 100 index futures were up 0.69%.
After last weekend’s London summit, French President Macron told the media thatEU should invest 200 billion euros to strengthen its defense capabilities。According to the schedule, EU leaders will focus on discussing this issue during Thursday’s summit.
Affected by this,Rheinmetall, one of Germany’s “Big Seven” military industry star stocks, rose more than 10%, driving Germany’s DAX index to hit a record high。Rheinmetal’s share price has risen by more than 80% this year and has increased 13 times since 2022.

Driven by high sentiment in European stock markets,Before press release, the UK’s FTSE 100 index and the Stoxx 50 index both hit record highs。France’s CAC40 index and Italy’s MIB index are also hovering at historical highs.
JP Morgan analyst David Perry saidEurope’s rearming cycle is now “really underway” and the United States ‘growing reluctance to subsidize the region’s defenses will lead to more local production and reduced imports. Events of the past two weeks have accelerated the verification of this argument. Now we will enter a stage of increasing valuation multiples, which will be followed by an increase in earnings expectations.
There is another risky event tonight-Trump’s tariff suspicion. Due to the chaotic state of this U.S. government changing orders day after day, judging from the pre-market trend, the market did not pay special attention to this issue. However, as specific intraday news comes into play, market sentiment may fluctuate.
Shortly before press time, Trump began to stir up global markets again. The White House saidTrump will issue an investment statement on Monday afternoon (early Tuesday morning Beijing time)。The U.S. president announced the news of national reserves of cryptocurrencies last Sunday, but it is unclear whether there is a connection between the two.
At the same time, before 8 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, Trump announced on social media that “there will be big news tomorrow night.” According to schedule, Trump will address a joint session of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday night.
