Asian stocks fell for a sixth straight session — the longest losing streak this year — as President Donald Trump announced new tariff rates and as solid earnings from megacap tech firms failed to lift broader market sentiment. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.4% at the open while contracts for the S&P 500 also fell by the same amount. Trump will maintain a minimum global tariff of 10%, while imports from countries with trade surpluses with the US face duties of 15% or higher, the White House announced Thursday. We get reaction from Jenny Gordon, Non-Resident Fellow at the Lowy Institute. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.

Plus -  Bloomberg Intelligence says Hang Lung Properties may stabilize retail rental income in mainland China, mainly driven by solid leasing performance of prime shopping malls in Shanghai. Its retail rental revenue on the mainland held steady at 2.4 billion yuan in the first half, with high occupancy rates of Plaza 66 and Grand Gateway 66 at 98% and 99% as of June 30. We speak with Adriel Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Properties.
