Wall Street surrendered early gains overnight as the US-China trade war intensified. Long-term interest rates surged as investors shifted their focus to the inflationary impact of rising tariffs. Apple shares have plunged more than 20% in recent days, while US defence stocks climbed on hopes of increased government spending. In Europe, share markets rebounded slightly from 14-month lows after four consecutive sessions of heavy selling. Commodities also took a hit, with prices slumping amid growing concerns over global growth. Meanwhile, Aussie shares are expected to open lower on Wednesday, giving up the previous day’s gains and the Aussie dollar remains at five-year lows.
