ASX to fall, Wall St slips despite Meta surge
Australian shares are set to open down amid a raft of tariff statements and letters from President Donald Trump extends his chaotic trade policy shift. Trump granted a 90-day reprieve to Mexico, America's largest trading partner, while threatening Canada, its second-largest trading partner because Canada outlined a plan to recognise Palestinian statehood. The president also sent letters to most of the largest global drugmakers – including Merck, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, GSK – demanding Americans get the best drug prices in the world for prescription drugs. The tariff news took the wind out of a big tech rally powered by Meta Platforms and Microsoft, which briefly topped the $US4 trillion market cap mark. Meta was 11.8 per cent higher shortly after 2pm in New York, lifting its market cap to near $US2 trillion. Apple and Amazon are set to report quarterly results after the closing bell at 4pm (6am AEST on Friday). Market highlights ASX futures are pointing down 50 points or 0.6 per cent to 8653. All US prices as of near 2pm New York time.
