Stock market indexes in Tokyo fell sharply in Friday's trading and erased the previous session's gains.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell nearly 3%, and the broader TOPX index decreased 3% as trade tensions between the U.S. and China rose to a new high.
The U.S. paused the so-called reciprocal tariffs on imports from all countries for 90 days but imposed additional tariffs totaling 145% on shipments from China.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration retained a universal tariff of 10% on all imports and 25% tariffs on shipments from Canada and Mexico.
The rapidly deteriorating situation between the U.S. and China raised the prospects of a global recession and a sharp reduction in growth in international trade.
Investors are hoping that Japan's trade negotiations with the U.S. will improve trade relations and lower the proposed reciprocal tariffs.
However, uncertainty linked to the U.S. trade policy and rising risks of the U.S. recession weighed on the market sentiment.
