US stocks faced downward pressure as the deadline for Trump’s tariffs approached. Energy stocks led the declines, with Chevron’s earnings miss weighing heavily on the sector. Meanwhile, Apple shares also ended lower after the company reported disappointing iPhone sales. Technology stocks were among the hardest hit for the week, contributing to broader market losses. Commodity prices, on the other hand, are bracing for a potential resurgence in the US dollar. Looking ahead, the ASX is expected to slip more than 1%, as investors await Australian earnings reports and digest the latest data showing a 0.2% decline in Australian house prices for January.
