Global equities were hit by turbulence as renewed US-China trade tensions sparked a sell-off across major indices. President Trump’s decision to hike tariffs on Chinese goods to 145% led to a steep drop in US markets—Nasdaq fell 4.3% and the S&P 500 dropped 3.5%, wiping out previous gains.
In contrast, European markets held back on retaliatory measures, banking on a diplomatic resolution. Meanwhile, US consumer inflation data surprised the markets with a decline—the first since May 2020.
Asian equities mirrored Wall Street’s slide. Japan’s Nikkei 225 plunged 5.46%, leading regional losses, followed by a 1.55% dip in South Korea’s Kospi. Hong Kong futures signaled a lower open.
