May 25, 2025 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) --
Futures pricing suggests that Australian equities will shed about 0.4 per cent when the market opens on Monday. Local investor sentiment is likely to be impact by a negative lead from Wall Street, which fell on Friday after the Trump administration proposed a 50 per cent tariff on imports from Europe amid growing trade tensions; the trade fears also boosted the Australian dollar against its US counterpart.

The S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.15 per cent to 8,360.9 points on Friday..
