Another bad day for markets after Trump threatens to delay trade deal


Stephen Innes, chief market strategist at AXITrader said the fact that Trump has threatened trade levies across three continents in the span of 24 hours, not only suggests "Tariff Man" is back, but he's returned with a vengeance.

KUALA LUMPUR: Key Asian markets and Bursa Malaysia extended their losses early Wednesday after US President Donald Trump’s comments that a US-China trade deal could be after the 2020 presidential election.
