European stock markets opened on a high note Friday, rounding off a volatile week that saw global equities whipsawed by mounting concerns over then-President Donald Trump’s unpredictable trade policies.

This uptick comes after several days of turbulence in the markets, as erratic signals from the White House regarding international trade deals created waves of uncertainty for investors worldwide.
