ASX Sharemarket News

In ASX sharemarket news, many of the China-related ASX businesses will be on watch today after talks between the United States and China seem to be breaking down after President Trump threatened to hike tariffs to 25%.

Yesterday the share price of Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE) fell by 4.75%, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it and others make a big move today as well.

As Warren Buffett said to CNBC, a trade war would be bad for the whole world.

The market is likely to further react to the Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) result, some investors would have wanted to have the whole day to react to the report.

As a reminder, the big ASX bank reported that both the statutory and cash profit fell by more than 20% because of the customer remediation. Even after excluding the remediation and restructuring costs, cash profit still fell by 5%.

However, the Westpac Board maintained the dividend at 94 cents per share, so it wasn’t all bad news.
