    U.K. stocks fall as trade conflict spooks traders

    U.K. stocks moved slightly lower on Monday, tracking a downbeat mood across Europe, where fears of an escalating trade conflict between the U.S. and China and political uncertainty in Germany sent markets lower. Trade tensions remained in the spotlight after China announced plans for retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods worth $34 billion, including soybeans, whiskey and electric cars. Beijing’s move comes after U.S. President Trump last week approved a first round of levies on about $50 billion in Chinese products and reportedly was drawing up a list for a second wave of tariffs against China.

Furthermore, British companies are also seeing an increase in buybacks and merger-and-acquisition activity, boding well, according to their analysis.
