<h1>Global equity swings tied to central bank policy expectations and trade negotiations raise compliance, regulatory scrutiny, and litigation risks</h1> Global equity movements reflect market reliance on central bank policy expectations and trade-policy developments, with gains in Europe and Australia offset by declines in China and Hong Kong amid tariff negotiations. Legal risks include potential regulatory scrutiny of trade measures and enforcement actions tied to tariff implementation, and increased litigation or compliance burdens for firms affected by shifting trade policy. Further legal and regulatory attention will focus on upcoming statements from the Federal Reserve Chair and forthcoming inflation data, which could influence monetary policy, disclosure obligations, and securities-law risk for issuers and market intermediaries.
