Australian shares slump more than 2% as Trump's tariff concerns linger




Australian shares dropped over 2% on Friday as investor concerns resurfaced over the trade standoff between the world’s two biggest economies and the potential global economic impact of U.S. tariffs.

The S&P/ASX 200 index fell as much as 2.4% to 7,524.50 points by 0016 GMT, reversing part of Thursday’s 4.5% rally that was driven by President Donald Trump’s temporary tariff relief for several countries.
