Stocks slump, dollar soars as Trump tariffs trigger trade war
Monday, 3 February 2025 08:11 WIB | MARKET UPDATE |Bursa Asia

Asian stock markets slumped on Monday and U.S. equity futures pointed sharply lower after U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China triggered fears of a broad trade war and hit to global growth.

The U.S. dollar shot to a record high against the Chinese yuan in offshore trading, and jumped to the highest since 2003 against Canada's currency and the strongest since 2022 versus Mexico's peso.
