#Sensex Struggles Amid Fresh US-China Trade Tensions, #Nifty Holds 10,300

Asian markets were mixed today amid fresh global trade war fears. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had instructed U.S. trade officials to consider $100 billion in additional tariffs against China, upping the ante in an already high-stakes trade confrontation between the world’s two biggest economies. The further tariffs were being considered "in light of China’s unfair retaliation" against earlier U.S. trade actions, which included a proposed $50 billion of tariffs on Chinese goods, Trump said in a White House statement.
