Asian shares slipped at the open after President Donald Trump confirmed he won’t delay the July 9 deadline for higher tariffs on trading partners. A regional stock gauge dipped 0.2%, while Japanese stocks dropped 1% as Trump threatened new tariffs on Japan and criticized its refusal to accept US rice. 💥

Meanwhile, the dollar slipped after hitting a two-year low, and Treasuries stayed steady after Tuesday’s yield rise. Investors are watching Trump’s next move on tariffs — though markets seem calm and close to record highs, expecting him to eventually back down as he has before. 🧐

Asian shares ticked up after Trump said he was still open to talks even after adding new tariffs on 🇯🇵 and 🇰🇷. 📈

The MSCI Asia index rose slightly, with Japan and Korea stocks up 0.3%. S&P 500 futures slipped a bit. The yen gained after its recent big drop. 💹

Trump delayed some tariffs until August 1 and hinted they weren’t "100% firm," leaving room for deals. 🤔

Analysts called this a "carrot-and-stick" move — tough talk but aiming for a deal soon. Markets still expect an agreement in about two weeks. 🥕
