U.S. Stocks, Bond Yields Fall on Trade Tensions

U.S. stocks slumped Friday after China said it would impose retaliatory tariffs on additional U.S. products and President Trump vowed to respond.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 500 points, or 2%, putting a halt to a relatively quiet week for markets. Yields on U.S. government bonds also tumbled, as did commodities markets, such as oil and copper, that are sensitive to the two countries’ trade battle.

Threats are from Trump, bewilderment from the Chinese. Don does not understand China, at all.

There is no change in tensions. The see no facts media has had to open their eyes.

Stock market always goes up and down. Stop with the emotional crap every time it goes down.

He didn’t escalate he just ended China. World will follow America and withdraw from China. Xi totally botched this, and I think he will pay the price. He over reached and especially HK, that is shocking. World has had enough.
