Asian shares are mixed after South Korea makes tariff deal and US stocks fall
Asian markets had a mixed day, with some up and others down, following a dip in US stocks. Investors are getting jittery about whether the Federal Reserve will actually cut interest rates by September—something many were counting on to give the economy a boost. Meanwhile, South Korea’s new tariff deal added a bit of positive momentum in the region, but it wasn’t enough to fully offset the broader uncertainty.
