April 8 (Reuters) - The outlook for European corporate health has deteriorated, the latest forecasts showed on Tuesday, heightening fears that a global trade war ignited by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs will hurt companies' earnings in the first quarter.
European companies are expected to report a drop of 2.2% in first-quarter earnings, according to LSEG I/B/E/S data, worse than the 1.5% drop analysts expected a week ago.
