MORNING BID ASIA - Navigating US Rates, Global Tariff Tensions

ASIAN MARKET - JAKARTA. A look at the day ahead in Asian markets. Asian markets are set for a rocky open on Monday following Wall Street's selloff on Friday, as U.S. inflation concerns bubble up and global trade war fears intensify after President Donald Trump said he plans to announce reciprocal tariffs on many economies early this week.

Trump's comments mark an escalation of his 'America First' offensive to reshape global trade relationships. There may be a reprieve, like there was with the Mexico and Canada tariffs recently, but if not, many Asian economies are vulnerable.
