A recent surge in US equities has cast doubt on the widely expected investor rotation toward European markets, as Wall Street rebounds sharply from tariff-driven turbulence. The S&P 500 index climbed 10% in the second quarter of 2025, significantly outperforming Europe’s Stoxx 600, which gained less than 2%. This sharp performance gap has disrupted expectations that President Donald Trump’s erratic tariff policies would push global investors toward European assets, where optimism had been rising on the back of large-scale fiscal stimulus efforts. Instead, capital has flowed back into familiar territory: US tech giants. Nvidia reached a new record high, while…
