▸ Trump’s tar­iffs push global stocks lower as investors weigh impact

▸ Dis­ap­point­ing out­look from Amazon also drags Wall Street lower

▸ Core gov­ern­ment bonds rally sharply after weaker than expec­ted US jobs data

Global stock mar­kets fell yes­ter­day as a new series of US trade tar­iffs promp­ted investors to take profits after a dra­matic recov­ery from trade war lows while jobs data poin­ted to a weak­en­ing US eco­nomy.

Wall Street's blue-chip S&P 500 index was 1.7 per cent lower by the early after­noon in New York while the tech­heavy Nas­daq Com­pos­ite slid 1.9 per cent.

A dis­ap­point­ing out­look from Amazon dragged the US mar­ket lower and the tech giant's share price dived 7.9 per cent.

Across the Atlantic, the region-wide Stoxx Europe 600 stock index dropped 1.9 per cent as investors diges­ted dozens of new tar­iffs against trad­ing part­ners.

Frank­furt's Xetra Dax index was down 2.7 per cent and the Cac 40 index in Paris retreated 2.9 per cent.

Trump's latest moves revived wor­ries over the threat to global trade for investors who have largely shrugged off this risk in recent weeks after a string of trade deals between the US and other big eco­nom­ies.

Many of the tar­iffs announced were in line with let­ters sent by Pres­id­ent Don­ald Trump to trad­ing part­ners last month. But some coun­tries such as Switzer­land were hit harder than expec­ted.
