Global Markets:
Asian market tanked on Monday after the U.S. and China tightened trade restrictions and exchanged sharp accusations, reigniting tensions between the world's two largest economies.
China's Ministry of Commerce reportedly said on Sunday that the country was not afraid of' a trade war, responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's vow to impose punitive new tariffs on Chinese imports.
Beijing also reportedly accused Washington of a textbook double standard' following Trump's threat to levy an additional 100% tariff after China imposed fresh export controls on rare earth minerals.
In a Truth Social post later that day, Trump appeared to temper his tone, suggesting the administration 'may not follow through' with a 'massive increase of tariffs' on China. However, the remarks did little to calm markets.
On Friday, U.S. equities tumbled amid escalating trade tensions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 878.82 points, or 1.9%, to close at 45,479.60. The S&P 500 slid 2.71% to 6,552.51, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.56% to 22,204.43 ' marking the S&P's steepest one-day decline since April 10.
For the week, the Dow lost 2.7%, the S&P 500 shed 2.4%, and the Nasdaq fell 2.5%. The sell-off deepened after Trump announced plans for additional tariffs and new export controls on critical U.S.-made software, a move that sent Big Tech stocks sharply lower and reignited fears of a renewed trade war with China.
Trump's latest measures have rattled global markets and raised concerns about further deterioration in U.S.'China relations ahead of a scheduled meeting with President Xi Jinping in two weeks ' a meeting Trump now says may not take place.
