Impact of Tariffs on Asian Markets: Asian stock markets fell following President Trump's announcement of new tariffs, including a 25% levy on imports from Mexico and Canada and an increase on Chinese goods from 10% to 20%, leading to heightened trade uncertainty and weakened investor confidence.
Australia's Economic Indicators: Australian retail sales showed a slight increase in January, while the Reserve Bank of Australia reduced interest rates due to declining inflation and slow wage growth; upcoming political gatherings in China are expected to address economic targets and policies amidst ongoing challenges.
