All three major US indexes dropped in a widespread sell-off, with Nasdaq posting its largest one-day percentage loss this year.

Wall Street has suffered its biggest losses of the year as markets respond to US-China trade tensions. Both the S&P 500 and the Dow also saw their most substantial percentage downturns since January 3.

The fall has set up the Australian sharemarket for a steep decline on Tuesday, the ASX 0.9 per cent lower at the open and the Australian dollar sinking 0.8 per cent. The volatility has come after China announced it would retaliate against the US by matching its tariff increase of 25 per cent in a tit-for-tat escalation.
