💨 Abstract

Asian shares fell on August 1, 2025, following a volatile trading session in the U.S. where President Donald Trump's new tariffs on 68 countries and the EU introduced uncertainty. Major indices in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Australia, India, and Taiwan all declined. Meanwhile, Wall Street experienced losses, with the S&P 500 falling 0.4%, health care stocks pulling back, and tech stocks offering minor gains.
