In early reactions, Japan\u2019s Nikkei dropped 0.4 per cent and Chinese blue chips stocks were flat and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng index eked out a small gain of 0.2 per cent. These declines were rather most even though much of the trading day is still to pass.<\/p>\n

The modest decline is a result of markets\u2019 belief that negotiations are still on and deals can still be struck for lower tariffs, according to Tony Sycamore, analyst at IG.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, the reaction in markets has been modest, and I think part of the reason for that is the recent trade deals with the EU, Japan, and South Korea have certainly helped to cushion the impact. The market now, I think, has probably taken the view that these trade tariff levels can be renegotiated, can be walked lower over the course of time,\u201d said Sycamore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
