**Asian Markets Slide as Renewed US-China Trade Tensions Spark Global Sell-Off**

Asian shares tumbled on Monday after escalating trade tensions between the United States and China triggered heavy losses on Wall Street.

US markets skidded on Friday after President Donald Trump threatened to impose new **100% tariffs** on Chinese goods, reigniting fears of a trade war between the world’s two largest economies. The move was in response to **Beijing’s new export restrictions on rare earth materials**, which are vital for producing everything from smartphones to jet engines.

In Asia, the **Hang Seng Index** in Hong Kong slumped **3.5% to 25,374.00**, while most other major regional markets fell by more than 1%. The **Shanghai Composite** dropped **1.3% to 3,846.25**, **South Korea’s Kospi** declined **1.7% to 3,550.32**, and **Australia’s S&P/ASX 200** slid **0.9% to 8,882.60**. **Taiwan’s Taiex** lost **1.7%**, and **India’s Sensex** slipped **0.5%**. Markets in **Tokyo** were closed for a public holiday.

On Wall Street, the sell-off was equally sharp. The **S&P 500** plunged **2.7%**—its worst single-day performance since April—closing at **6,552.51**. The **Dow Jones Industrial Average** fell **1.9% to 45,479.60**, and the **Nasdaq Composite** tumbled **3.6% to 22,204.43**.
