European stocks plunged on Friday, with the Stoxx 50 falling over 2.5% and the broader Stoxx 600 down more than 1%, as President Trump escalated his trade conflict. He imposed tariffs on Apple’s foreign-made iPhones and threatened a 50% tariff on EU goods starting June 1, criticizing stalled negotiations. Luxury giants LVMH and Hermès dropped over 3%, while ASML Holding, HSBC, and L’Oréal lost more than 2%, and SAP declined over 1.5%. Despite the market turmoil, Germany’s Q1 GDP growth was revised up to 0.4% from 0.2%, boosted by strong manufacturing and a surge in exports in March, signaling resilience amid trade tensions.
