Global Stock Markets Show Mixed Results Amid Trade Tensions

Global equity markets are showing mixed results as investors monitor trade tensions between the U.S. and China, along with economic data released in the U.S. Major indices like Nasdaq and S&P 500 report declines, driven by corporate earnings disappointments, particularly in technology, and heightened fears of competition from Chinese firms in AI. Local markets, including Mexico and European indices, also reflect these trends with varying results in indices.
