Markets Overview:

The UK 100 called to open -224 points this morning at 7,830.  The UK 100 looks set to significantly lower once again this morning, as the global fallout from Trump tariffs continued overnight.

Having been closed on Friday, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell by more than 11% and the Shanghai Composite reversed by 7%.

The stock market Stateside was pounded for a second day Friday after China retaliated with new tariffs on U.S. goods, sparking fears President Donald Trump has ignited a global trade war that will lead to a recession.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2,231.07 points, or 5.5%, to 38,314.86 on Friday, the biggest decline since June 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. This follows a 1,679-point decline on Thursday and marks the first time ever that it has shed more than 1,500 points on back-to-back days.  The S&P 500 nosedived 5.97% to 5,074.08, the biggest decline since March 2020. The benchmark shed 4.84% on Thursday and is now off more than 17% off its recent high.  The Nasdaq, the index where many tech companies that sell to China and manufacture there as well, dropped 5.8%, to 15,587.79. This follows a nearly 6% drop on Thursday and takes the index down by 22% from its December record, a bear market in Wall Street terminology.
