Asia-Pacific markets extended their sell-off Monday as fears over a global trade war sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs fueled a risk-off mood.

Japanese markets led losses in the region in early trade. The benchmark Nikkei 225 plunged 8.03% while the broader Topix index plummeted 8.64%.

Over in South Korea, the Kospi index fell 4.34% at the open, while the small-cap Kosdaq fell 3.48%.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 declined 6.07% at the open. The benchmark slid into correction territory with an 11% decline since its last high in February, in its previous session.

Great time to buy. Only a fool thinks there is going to be a global trade war. Far from it!

“Plunge” and “7%” aren’t usually things that go together.

Perhaps heading to Capitulation and therefore a buying opportunity.

Looks like another down day for the Dow, coming with the dawn.

Clearly, the tariffs got everyone’s attention.

Things needed to change, and it seems like this was enough of a stimulus to drive significant change.

Yep. I think it could come tomorrow, or for sure... this week.

1) with change, comes opportunity
2) You could have invested in the VIX and doubled your money in 5 days
3) this is a necessary game of chicken: it is America vs the globalists. Whoever blinks first, loses
4) Countries around the world have employed trade barriers and tariffs against America -destroying much of our manufacturing base and harming the middle class
5) so long as we remain resolute, this will all be over in a few months and America will be better and stronger for it.
