European equities are experiencing turbulence due to President-elect Donald Trump's trade threats. However, the UK stock market is being recommended as a safer option for investors.

Since the US election on November 5, London has outperformed its European counterparts. The Euro Stoxx 50 index has declined by 4.5% this quarter, reflecting concerns over potential tariff hikes. In contrast, the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices in Britain have only seen a modest drop of 1.5%, indicating relative resilience in the face of market volatility. This divergence suggests that UK equities may be attractive to investors navigating the uncertain landscape of upcoming trade policies.
