Dow futures drop 300 points at the open as US-China trade war escalates

concluded the week down 1.4% and 1.8%, respectively. Last week also marked the indexes' fourth straight weekly loss, their longest since May.

"The ongoing Trade War is redrawing global supply chains, claiming casualties in the process," Julian Emanuel, chief equity and derivatives strategist at BTIG, said in a note. "As persistent headwinds intersect with traditional seasonal softness, recent volatility can be expected to continue in the near term as markets await policy developments."

The U.S. bond market has also flashed a recession signal recently. The 10-year Treasury yield has dipped below its 2-year counterpart. This phenomenon is known as a yield-curve inversion. Experts fear it because it has historically preceded recessionary periods. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said Friday the central bank will "act as appropriate" to sustain the current U.S. economic expansion, which is the longest in history. However, Powell failed to clearly signal that another rate cut was imminent in September.

Is there a site where I can bet on realDonaldTrump NOT winning 2020? I see this as an easy Hedge to the Stock Market turmoil.

Actually they're up from Friday's close when the futures were down 555. Nonetheless, markets are skeptical, as they should be. What Trump is doing is senseless and illogical at every level of accounting theory and economic principle. TRADE CAN MAKE EVERYONE BETTER OFF.

Tons of DJ keeps on dropping on trump face until it gets deep purple similarly to epstein's.

Getting closer! Candidate Trump’s campaign promise was to slap a 45% tariff on all Chinese imports. Promises Made Promises Kept (in progress)

Hysteria time!!!

Another MASSIVE failure for Trump on the international stage. GOPCesspool TrumpSwamp

tradnews_ Hello all

Honestly, meaningless. Closing price and level more important. Trump can reverse the whole market action with one stupid/false tweet.

Find someone who is willing to work for his nation NOT for his ego. I hope people realize those (having power or in position to influence others) are wanting a recession & can afford a recession. They are not looking out for the best interest of ALL people. We laugh at CNN.
