    ASX 200 fallout continues as market wipe out reaches more than $200bn

    The ASX 200 has lost $200bn in just three weeks as the impact of US
    President Donald Trump's brutal tariffs reverbate through markets.
    ...
    ...
    The nose dive in Australian shares follows several reasons, including
    US trade policy uncertainty and fears of a looming US recession as Mr
    Trump passes through his previously announced tariff policy.

    "The way [Mr Trump] is going about it is truly frightening and that is parlaying through into our stock market, so things aren't looking
    particularly flashy right now."

    Adding to the pressures on the local market, weakness in the big banks
    and miners as well as a number of large stocks trading ex dividend is
    seeing the Aussie market fall heavily in the red.

    It would be fun to see Trumps trading account. I bet he has earned some
    big money on trading these last couple of weeks! =D
