Asian markets plunge as world reels from Trump tariff announcement

Wednesday, 02 April 2025 22:37

Gold has reached a record high while the yen has strengthened against the dollar and stock markets have slumped after Donald’s Trump’s unexpectedly aggressive tariff announcement. Here’s the latest on the markets courtesy of Reuters:

The high-flying tech sector was pummelled as manufacturing hubs in China and Taiwan faced new tariffs above 30%, bringing the total new levy to an eye-watering 54% on imports from China.

“The US effective tariff rate on all imports look to be the highest level in over a century,” said Citi’s global rates trading strategist, Ben Wiltshire.

Nasdaq futures tumbled 4% and in after-hours trade some $760 billion was wiped from the market value of Magnificent Seven technology leaders. Apple shares, hit hardest as the company makes iPhones in China, were down nearly 7%.

S&P 500 futures fell 3.3%, FTSE futures fell 1.8%, while European futures fell nearly 2%.

Donald Trump announces new 25% tariffs on cars from overseas

Thursday, 27 March 2025 00:24

25% tariff Donald Trump announced plans to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on cars from overseas on Wednesday, days before the US president is expected to announce wide-ranging levies on other goods from around the world.

“What we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff for all cars that are not made in the United States,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “We start off with a 2.5% base, which is what we’re at, and go to 25%.”

The announcement drew swift condemnation from the European Union and from the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, who called it a “direct attack” on Canadian workers. “We will defend our workers, we will defend our companies, we will defend our country, and we will defend it together,” Carney said.

Chip company pays protecction money to Trump

It was a surprise ceremony at the White House presided over by President Donald Trump to unveil a $100 billion investment from what he called the world’s most powerful company, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

But nearly 8,000 miles away, the mood was far from celebratory. Instead, the shock announcement last week has reignited fears in Taiwan about losing its crown jewel, its world-beating semiconductor industry, to the US due to political pressure.

‘Hit them where it hurts’: Americans boycott corporations to protest anti-DEI policies

Saturday, 01 March 2025 00:13

On Friday, Americans across the country are participating in an economic boycott for 24 hours.

Organized by the People’s Union USA, a nonpartisan, grassroots organization, the boycott quickly picked up steam across social media, with thousands of users sharing posts with related hashtags. Participants are asked not to spend any money, and if they need to, it is recommended that they shop at a local, small business and pay in cash.

“February 28 is a symbolic start to economic resistance, a day where we show corporations and politicians that we control the economy,” reads the organization’s website. “The date itself is not tied to any historical event, it is the beginning of something bigger.”

Spurred by anger about companies rolling back their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts, in response to large-scale government cuts by Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge), some consumers are attempting to show their discontent with their wallets.

Trump moves to slap tariffs on nearly every nation, boosting trade war

Thursday, 13 February 2025 18:02

Trump slaps tariffs on all countries President Donald Trump signed an memorandum on Thursday instructing his administration to pursue reciprocal tariffs against nations that put fees on U.S. exports, escalating a trade war that could lead to higher costs for Americans.

Trump did not immediately put tariffs in place. He directed trade officials to go country by country and put together a slate of tailored counter measures.

The tariffs are expected to be equivalent to the fees that individual countries put on products that are imported from the U.S., including tariffs and taxes, and take into account regulatory requirements and subsidies affecting U.S. businesses and consumers.

"Whatever they charge us, we're charging them," Trump said Thursday. "It's a beautiful simple system."
