Asian stock markets saw widespread declines on Monday as fears grew over President Trump's impending tariffs on key trading partners. Japan's Nikkei 225 index dropped 2.4%, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 and South Korea’s Kospi fell 1.8% and 2.9%, respectively. Analysts warned of potential volatility and negative impacts on global trade and inflation. The U.S. markets also ended the previous week on a downward trend, with technology and energy sectors notably affected. With Canada and Mexico poised to retaliate with their own tariffs, investors are increasingly anxious about the outcomes.
