KUALA LUMPUR: President Donald Trump announced yesterday that the United States (US) would introduce a baseline tariff of 10 per cent on all countries and higher duties on some countries, including Malaysia at 24 per cent.
This could put Asian equities under pressure as financial markets open on Thursday.

“Vietnam and Cambodia face even steeper tariffs at 46 per cent and 49 per cent, respectively,” investor and global macro analyst ActivTrades Anderson Alves said in a market commentary.
