The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is trading 0.76% lower on Friday after the US finalised its list of global reciprocal tariffs overnight.
The United States issued an Executive Order overnight detailing revised reciprocal tariffs for scores of nations.
The Order also sets a date for the revised tariffs to begin, which is next Thursday, 7 August.

ASX 200 drops on Friday
The revised tariffs follow several trading deals negotiated between US President Donald Trump and these nations' governments.
One of the biggest deals involves a $550 billion investment into the US by Japan in exchange for a tariff reduction from 24% to 15%.
However, the Order notes that some nations have offered unacceptable terms and, therefore, no adjusted tariff would apply to them.
The details of the Order leave room for new deals to be made if these nations step up to the plate.
Any nation not appearing on this revised list, including Australia, will be subject to the current 10% baseline tariff.
The exception is China, with the negotiated 34% tariff (reduced from 125% in May) to stand.
This is a relief for companies manufacturing goods in Australia, given President Trump had considered raising the baseline tariff to 15% or 20%.
However, the manufacturing sector in Australia is comparatively small.
Many ASX 200 companies manufacture goods in other countries, particularly in Southeast Asia.
So, they'll be more interested to see how US tariff rates have changed in those nations.
Several large manufacturing nations receive US tariff relief
Several nations with strong global manufacturing industries have secured lower tariffs.
These include Taiwan, which now has a US tariff of 20%, down from 32%. The US has reduced Vietnam's tariff from 46% to 20%.
South Korea's tariff has been reduced from 25% to 15%. Indonesia's tariff has been lowered from 32% to 19%.
The US tariff for goods from Bangladesh has been reduced from 37% to 20%. Thailand's tariff is down from 36% to 19%.
Sri Lanka's tariffs are down from 44% to 20%.
Some of the countries with the most punishing original reciprocal tariffs are now subject to much lower rates.
Examples include Cambodia, down from 49% to 19%; Guyana, down from 38% to 15%; Lesotho, down from 50% to 15%; and Madagascar, down from 47% to 15%.
Some nations have received higher tariffs, such as the Philippines at 19%, up from 17%.

Other US tariff news
Also this week, the US ended the de minimis exemption on goods manufactured in all nations outside the US, effective 29 August.
The de minimis exemption allowed goods with a dutiable value under US$800 to be imported into the US duty-free.
In May, President Trump ended the exemption for low-value goods from China and Hong Kong. Now, it applies to all nations.
This is bad news for many ASX 200 retail companies.
Cettire Ltd (ASX: CTT) shares hit a record low of 25 cents yesterday following the news.
A company update stated that shipments to the US represented approximately 40% of Cettire's gross revenues in May and June, and "the majority of sales" fell under the de minimis price threshold.
Cettire was previously a darling of the ASX 200 retail sector but has suffered a fall from grace over the past 17 months.
