ASX Sharemarket News

In ASX sharemarket news, most of the Australian share market is likely to see falls today as China said that it would respond with another set of tariffs on US$60bn of US goods after the US recently increased its own tariffs.

There were several Australian shares that took a tumble when the US put up its tariffs, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE) share drop a few percent today.

The only sector I can see having a good day is the gold sector as the gold price went up overnight.
