Trump Tariffs: US Stock Futures Sink as China Retaliates | Opening Trade 04/04

President Trump defends his tariffs and dismisses the market meltdown. Rattled investors now await US Payrolls data with the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell due to speak today. US stock futures tumbled as much as 4.1% early Friday after China retaliated against new US tariffs with levies on all American imports, exacerbating a rout that sent American equities to the worst day since 2020 on Thursday. Contracts on the S&P 500 Index plunged as China imposed a 34% tariff on all American imports starting April 10. All of the Magnificent Seven stocks including Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple fell premarket.

The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won’t find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Guy Johnson and Lizzy Burden.
