- European shares pulled back from near-record highs on Thursday, as U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law a bill backing protesters in Hong Kong, sparking doubts about a resolution to the prolonged tariff war between Washington and Beijing.
The law, which warns of sanctions against human rights violations in Hong Kong amid pro-democracy protests, drew a sharp rebuke from China for what it views as U.S. interference in an internal matter. Shares of trade-sensitive auto parts makers .SXAP shed 0.8% in their sharpest one-day drop in more than a week. The tech sector .SX8P, which includes chipmakers with a large exposure to China, was down 0.6%.
“But the interests for both China and the U.S. to not escalate the situation and pause this conflict are still very much alive.”
