Asia-Pacific markets showed mixed reactions following President Trump's announcement of a "done" US-China trade deal, with Japan's Nikkei and Topix falling, while South Korea's Kospi rose slightly. US stock futures also dipped, influenced by the trade agreement and lower-than-expected inflation data. The deal includes a 55% tariff on Chinese imports, a point that seemingly unsettled investors, contributing to the market's pullback. Concerns regarding Iran's nuclear deal also added to the uncertainty.
