European equity markets are set to open higher on Wednesday (1/22), continuing the positive momentum of recent sessions as U.S. President Donald Trump refrained from implementing his tariff threats into action, despite signing a series of executive orders. This provided some relief to global markets. EU Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis also stated that Europe would respond proportionately to any U.S. tariffs to protect the region's economic interests. Meanwhile, there are no major data releases in Europe on Wednesday, although EasyJet is due to report its latest earnings. Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures were both up around 0.2% in pre-market trading.(AL)
