Asian markets fluctuate as traders prepare for 'Liberation Day'

Hindustan Times  

Asian markets swung on Monday as the White House prepares to impose tariffs on key trading partners next week that many fear could deal a painful blow to the global economy. Asian markets fluctuate as traders prepare for 'Liberation Day' A report saying US President Donald Trump was considering a more targeted approach to the levies, which are expected to kick in on April 2, did little to soothe investors' nerves, with the uncertainty dealing a blow to confidence. "Anticipation and pre-positioning ahead of Trump's 'Liberation Day' on 2 April and the impending deluge of tariff-related announcements that will follow in the days/weeks after will be a growing factor that drives price action, sentiment and liquidity in markets this week," said Chris Weston at Pepperstone.
