Stock market indexes in China and Hong Kong fell sharply on Friday and trimmed monthly advances amid yet another twist in U.S. trade policy.
The Hang Seng index decreased as much as 1.7%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 declined as much as 0.8% after growing uncertainties about the U.S. trade policy.
A federal appeals court reinstated tariffs for now, after the Trump administration lost the case in the U.S. Court of International Trade.
The appeals court is expected to make its ruling in about two weeks, setting the stage for the case to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court next month.
The unpredictability of the Trump administration is weighing on port operations on the West and East Coasts, and businesses are struggling to adjust to the head-spinning shifts in constantly changing rules.
Key trading partners are also not likely to offer concessions until the legality of the tariffs is resolved, further delaying the negotiations.
For the week, the Hang Seng index declined 1.2%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 index eased 0.8%.
In May, the Hang Seng index jumped 5%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 index advanced 2.5%.
