Stock markets are plummeting further on Friday after China unveiled its response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs: reciprocal 34% levies on all U.S. products.
The announcement, which continues to fuel fears of a global recession, led futures in all major U.S. stock indexes to expand their drops, with the S&P 500 dropping 3.5% after already plunging 4.8% on Thursday.
