Tech shares led the ASX 200 market sectors with a 3.85% increase over the five trading days last week.

Meanwhile, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) rose 0.88% to finish at 8,434.7 points on Friday.

Tariff turmoil continued last week after the US Court of International Trade blocked most of President Donald Trump's global tariffs.

The court ruled that Trump had misused the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to implement his tariffs.

The Trump administration appealed and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit quickly gave it a reprieve.

So, for now, the US tariffs remain in effect. You can view a complete list of the reciprocal US tariffs by country here.

Seven of the 11 market sectors finished in the green last week.

Let's recap.
