STORYLINE:
Indexes fell sharply in Japan Monday morning as automakers felt more pressure following US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he plans to impose 25% tariffs on auto imports.
Honda Motor fell 2.6%, and Toyota Motor sank 2.8% in Tokyo, while South Korea’s Hyundai Motor fell 2.6% in Seoul.
Stock markets worldwide will likely remain shaky as an April 2 deadline approaches for more tariffs.
That’s what Trump has called ”Liberation Day”, when he will roll out tariffs tailored to each of the United States’ trading partners.
Thailand’s SET lost 1% after a powerful earthquake centered in Myanmar rattled the region, causing the prime minister to declare a state of emergency for the capital, Bangkok.
