Dow Jones-Zum Start in the new week cannot be made out on the stock exchanges in East Asia and Australia. Some stock exchange places go upwards after US President Donald Trump postponed the threatened additional tariffs in July in the trade dispute with the EU. However, an agreement with many Asian trading partners is still pending, which dampens the mood in some markets.
Technology values are sold in many places with the negative requirements from the USA. Apple suppliers are burdened by Trump’s threat of lifting tariffs of 25 percent to all iPhones made outside of the USA. In the United States and Great Britain, trade rests on Monday due to local public holidays, which could also cause something to relieve investors in Asia.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei-225 index wins 0.9 percent to 37,484 points. Nippon Steel increases by 2 percent after the US President has essentially approved the takeover of US Steel by the Japanese steel company, although there are still a few details to be clarified. The “partnership” of the two companies will bring at least 70,000 jobs, says Trump. In addition, $ 14 billion flows into the US economy. Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden blocked the transaction in January before Trump’s taking office.
Negative signs dominate on the Chinese stock exchanges. The composite index drops by 0.3 percent in Shanghai. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index gives up 1 percent. The course of the Apple supplier AAC Technologies falls by 2 percent. The shares of the car manufacturers BYD (-7.9%), LI Auto (-4.9%) and Geely (-7.3%) are also under pressure. Observers speak of profit.
The Kospi in Seoul is 1.4 percent upwards. Index heavyweight Samsung Electronics wins 0.5 percent.
The Australian stock market is hardly changing. Genesis Minerals increase by 2.8 percent. The company buys the Laverton gold project for $ 250 million.
