Stock Market Reacts to Trumps China Tariff Threat

An exciting week in the markets with movement across most sectors and many equites hitting all time highs, ended with all major indices down by at least 180 basis points. The cause of this sell off lies in continued tariff threats on China by the Trump Administration, with a proposed 100% tariff on Chinese imports. Right off the heels of a government shutdown, traders worry about the short term future of the economy as sell offs continued throughout the day.
