Trump warned of a potential 50% increase in tariffs on Chinese goods if Beijing did not reduce its own duties on American imports, sparking volatility across global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, several major indices in the region posted solid gains.

Indonesia\u2019s Jakarta Composite dropped 7.63% following a trading halt triggered by a circuit breaker. Vietnam\u2019s benchmark index fell 5.6% after returning from a holiday, and Thailand\u2019s SET index declined over 5% to reach its lowest level since March 2020, based on data from LSEG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, U.S. stock futures traded higher following a three-day losing streak sparked by Trump\u2019s tariff announcement. S&amp;P 500 futures rose around 1%, Nasdaq-100 futures gained 1.1%, and Dow Jones futures climbed 476 points, or 1.2%. On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.91% to 37,965.60, while the S&amp;P 500 declined 0.23% to 5,062.25.
