It's been a weak start to wk 22 in the Far East this morning on renewed tariff fears after Trump threatened to impose 50% tariffs on imports from the EU starting June 1 (later rowed back to July 1).

Trade concerns had waned considerably in recent weeks after the US reached deals with the UK and China.

Trump later claimed on Truth Social that the EU has "been very difficult to deal with saying "trade talks with the bloc are going nowhere!"

In Sydney the ASX200 is lower in mixed to weak Trade after opening on the front foot. Gold miners are the only bright spot despite gold slipping to $3348. Major miners are better while oils are mixed with Banks being sold. Near the close the ASX200 is up 5 points and has added 3% on a ytd basis.

In Japan the Nikkei is notably higher thanks to autos and large cap techs. The 225 closed the morning session up 169 points and has pushed ahead 319 near the close of play. Elsewhere in Asia HK, Indonesia, Taiwan and Malaysia are lower while Shanghai trading higher at open fell 40 in late morning trade.

Markets in Seoul (2626) are gaining over 1•5% thanks to buyers piling into Samsung and Hynix. Later Trump said tariffs would be aimed at a wider range of device makers inc Samsung to spur them into moving product to the US.

A better week for holders of MSi shares which crept up

30p after hitting an intra-day high of 1148. Nothing to bother the scorer as we await news re: 'a board for the future.' I fear a sense of anticlimax among investors as this is dragging on interminably. All will be revealed in around 4 weeks time.

All 3 major Wall St indexes closed with their bigest daily losses in a month and long dated t/bill yields rose after the Treasury Depts $16bn sale of 20year bonds met weak demand from investors.

Ten of the 11 S&P sectors fell led by real estate, healthcare & financials. United Health dropped 6% after a Guardian report said the healthcare conglomerate secretly paid nursery homes thousands of dollars in bonuses to help reduce hospital transfers for ailing residents. UH stock fell $29 to $293.

Others to catch the eye inc Target down 5% after slashing it's annual forecast due to weakness in discretionary spending. Shock of the day was the slump of 60% in the price of semi conductor supplier Wolfspeed ($1•26) who is expected to file for bankruptcy in weeks. Vols on US exchanges was an above 20 day average of 17bn at 19•4 bn traded. On the big board only Coca Cola was in the black with UH, Nike & Amex propping up the decliners.

India in the driving seat imo they can play the long game and frustrate PAT by offering a low value settlement one that PAT will be happy to accept thus saving time and money.

If both parties feel they have secured a good deal,..... well then job done, but 300p is for the birds!! I can't see the GOI caving in at this stage of proceedings given were only at the claim for damages stage. Lots more to play for here.

Morning Roger. Yea paid for the beer and then some!! Now Europe awaits giving Palace a lot more visibility!

Asian mrkts are trading mostly lower today despite the positive cues from Wall St on Friday. Traders are reacting to the surprise downgrading of the US Govt credit rating to Aa1from Aaa by Moody's ratings the last of the 3 major agencies to downgrade it.

Traders also noted China announcing anti dumping duties on plastics from the US, EU, Japan and Taiwan.

In Australia the ASX200 snaps an 8 session winning streak as weakness in tech and financials pull the index lower. In Japan the 225 is modestly lower extending losses in the previous 3 sessions the landmark 225 closed the morning session down 136. Elsewhere HK and Shanghai are little changed with Pan Pacific mrkts treading water.

C'mon Palace!! You can do it. At 3/1 a bit skinny v Man City at 4/5 on but in a one off game you never know. Despite City having 4 wins over Palace in last 6 (2 draws) I'm backing my home team to trip up the Cityboys.

Correction the 14k MSi trades were for Friday not the whole week.

US stocks rose on Friday notching wkly gains across the major averages as tensions ease on the China US trade war front and an air of normality returns to the mrkts. The 500 extended gains for the 5th day in a row erasing all 2025 losses, while the tecs outperformed on the wk by 7%. Only 4 Big board stocks fell on the session (Apple, Chevron, Cisco & Boeing) heading the risers (UH, 3M & Walmart).

Notably Nvidia ($135) climbed back into positive territory on the news it will supply Saudi Arabia's Humain with several hundred thousand Ai chips. Other US firms have signed deals with Humain notably Qualcomm, AMD and Amazon. Tesla ($350) capped the 4th straight week of gains but slumped $10 in after hours trade. Considering Tesla at one point was 40% down on the year the bounce back has been considerable.

US consumer sentiment fell in May as Americans grew more pessimistic about the inflation outlook and the knock on effects of Trump tariffs on companies spend power. Trump's tax and spend bill which promises big tax cuts failed to clear a key hurdle on Friday as Republicans voted to oppose by 21-16.

Gold futures pulled back more than 1% on Friday as peace talks lowered demand for safe haven assets. Gold was on pace to close the week down around 4% to $3170 in early dealings.

Morning all.

A near £92k late sell at 1082 ended another flat to low volume trading week in MSi.

According to LSE (14,403) shares changed hands on the week one of the lowest for sometime. This time last year nearly 60K were traded and that was a low week.

As usual the trade nos are indicative only and not to be relied upon.
