Washington:
The Asian stocks were slightly higher on Tuesday as some stability returned to the markets, as US President Donald Trump floated a potential stagnation in the auto-related, promoting the region after the last week rollercoster ride. The US leader said on Monday that he was considering amending 25 percent tariffs on foreign auto and auto parts from Mexico, Canada and other places.
“I see something to help some car companies with it,” Trump asked reporters at the Oval Office.
Tariffs on the auto sector can increase the cost of a car to thousands of dollars, and Trump said that car companies need “a little time because they are going to make them here.”
The President’s remarks indicated in another round of tariff reversal as Trump’s import of import duties left the financial markets in turmoil, which has increased concerns about a possible recession.
The latest statement gave Trump’s smartphone, computers and some other electronics exempted from “mutual” American tariffs on Friday.
But his administration later said Trump on Sunday that he investigated the import of semiconductors after announcing his tariff rate in the next week.
The US President’s unconventional approach to trade diplomacy continued uncertainty among investors, with speculation on new levy on high-end technology and pharmaceuticals.
Asian market shows signs of stability
Japanese shares led profit in Asia, while the US Treasury Bond stabilized, as investors continued to evaluate messages from the Trump administration after the historic sales of the previous week.
Tokyo and Seoul emerged among the best artists to promote the auto sector, when Trump said he was “very flexible” and “watching some of the car companies watching something to help” hit 25 percent of his tariffs on all imports.
Japan’s Nikkei had an increase of 1 percent, which had shares of auto companies such as Toyota and Auto Parts Manufacturer Denso among the top beneficiaries on the index. But the profit was limited amid uncertainty on America’s trade policies as a cloud was put on Trip’s constant back and forth on the tariff and a cloud on the markets and the global economic approach.
Toyota and Mazda shares increased by five percent and Nissan over three percent, while Seoul-list Hyundai jumped more than four percent.
