Shares in European tech stocks rose on Monday after U.S. granted exclusions from tariffs on smartphones, computers and some other electronics imported largely from China.
European semiconductor names were up as well, with gains strongest for those most exposed to the U.S. market, like ASM International, Infineon, and ASML, rising about 2% as of 0720 GMT.
Europe's chipmakers supply key chips to the smartphone, personal electronics industry, while computer chip equipment makers, like ASML, are now excluded from Trump's 10% "baseline" tariffs into the U.S.
Apple's shares rose over 6% at one point in Frankfurt. Other U.S. tech stocks listed in Frankfurt were also higher with Nvidia rising more 3%, Dell Technologies up 6.3%.
However, the level of uncertainty remains high and, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would announce levies on imported semiconductors, and the whole supply chain, over the next week.
Europe's tech index was up 2.8%, with stocks like Computer parts maker Logitech up around 5%, while SAP, and Dassault Systemes rose 2%.
Nasdaq futures gained 1.6% in early European hours.
