Asian markets settled mixed on Tuesday, as Japanese shares gained after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Japan is likely to be prioritized in tariff negotiations with the Trump administration. Chinese shares rose after China said it will take countermeasures against the US threat of an additional 50% tariff on Chinese goods, noting that the move is groundless and just a typical unilateral bullying practice. Hong Kong shares settled up as Chinese state funds intervened by purchasing exchange-traded funds to prop up the market. Meanwhile, the Indonesian market sank as markets reopened after a week-long Eid holiday break and reacted to global market turmoil caused by US tariffs.
