Bangkok, Jul 14 (AP) World shares were mixed on Monday as investors focused on tariffs and corporate earnings updates.
An announcement over the weekend by US President Donald Trump that he plans 30% tariffs on goods from Mexico and the European Union had a modest immediate impact, as analysts said they expected progress toward trade deals before an Aug 1 deadline.
Trump detailed the planned tariffs Saturday in letters posted to his social media account.
The Mexican peso weakened slightly against the dollar, trading at 18.6 pesos to the dollar.
Chinese shares advanced after the government reported that exports rose last month as a truce in a tariffs war prompted a surge in orders ahead of an Aug 12 deadline for reaching a new trade deal with Washington.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.3% to 24,091.45, while the Shanghai Composite index also was up 0.3%, at 3,519.65.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index slipped 0.3% to 39,459.62, while the Kospi in South Korea jumped 0.8% to 3,202.03.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1% lower to 8,570.40.
Taiwan's benchmark lost 0.6%.
On Friday, a modest pullback for U.S. stocks left major stock indexes on Wall Street in the red for the week.
The S&P 500 closed 0.3% lower, at 6,259.75, a day after setting a record high.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.6% to 44,371.51, and the Nasdaq composite gave up 0.2% to 20,585.53 after drifting between small gains and losses much of the day. The tech-heavy index was coming off its own all-time high on Thursday.
The selling capped an uneven week in the market as Wall Street kept an eye on the Trump administration's rollout of new tariff threats against trading partners like Canada and looked ahead to the upcoming corporate earnings reporting season.
Trump said in a letter Thursday that he will raise taxes on many imported goods from Canada to 35%, deepening the rift between the longtime North American allies. The letter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was an aggressive increase to the top 25% tariff rates that Trump first imposed in March.
The administration had initially set Wednesday as a deadline for countries to make deals with the US or face heavy increases in tariffs. But with just two trade deals announced since April, one with the United Kingdom and one with Vietnam, the window for negotiations has been been extended to Aug 1.
Trump also floated this week that he would impose tariffs of as much as 200% on pharmaceutical drugs and place a 50% tariff on copper imports, matching the rates charged on steel and aluminum.
The initial rollout of Trump's tariff policies in the spring roiled financial markets. But they have been relatively stable in recent weeks, suggesting investors have adjusted to the unpredictability of his sudden policy shifts.
Markets are set to shift their focus to quarterly earnings over the next few weeks. JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup are among big banks due to report their results on Tuesday.

Tariffs drive market shifts as proposed import duties and negotiation deadlines reshape trade expectations and investor positioning. Proposed unilateral increases in import duties, including sector-specific surtaxes and firm deadlines for trade negotiations, are driving differentiated market responses: currency adjustments, sectoral stock moves, and investor focus on upcoming corporate earnings. Commodity prices and select securities reacted to policy and procurement signals while digital assets rallied amid risk-on flows; an imminent legislative window for crypto regulation may alter the regulatory environment. Tariff policy, corporate earnings, and crypto regulation jointly shape short- to medium-term market risk and investor positioning.Press 'Enter' after typing page number.
