The stock exchanges in Asia have booked massive losses in the so-called turbulence around the global customs package of the government of US President Donald Trump at the start of the week. According to the negative guidelines of Wall Street, the 225 values of the Nikkei index on the guideline in Tokyo in the meantime crashed by more than eight percent and a good hour after the start of the trade, a violent discount of 2,086.71 points or 6.18 percent with the intermediate score of 31,693.87 points. The stock exchanges in China, Hong Kong and Australia also recorded significant losses in early trade.
Trump’s customs package had already sent the stock exchanges worldwide in the past week. The DAX posted a weekly minus of more than eight percent and thus its greatest loss in a trade week since the beginning of the Russian attack war against Ukraine in spring 2022. In New York, the Dow fell to the lowest level since the middle of last year. With a weekly minus of more than 8 percent, it was the most lost stock market for the index for years. The stock market quake also etched assets from private investors in billions of billions almost overnight.
Meanwhile, Trump was ready to talk to trading in the United States about the relaxation of the new tariffs under certain conditions with trading partners. “I would like to solve the deficit problem that we have with China, the European Union and other countries,” said Trump on a return flight from the state of Florida to the US capital Washington. “If you want to talk about it, I’m open to discussions.” He spoke to many leading politicians from Europe, Asia and the whole world at the weekend, said Trump. “They burn on making a deal.”
