Accusing the U.S. of \u201cunilateral bullying,\u201d China\u2019s Ministry of Commerce\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0\u201cChina firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China\u2019s interests. If this happens, China will not accept it and will resolutely take reciprocal countermeasures.\u201d The Trump administration is planning to pressure its trade partners to reduce trade with China in exchange for tariff relief,\u00a0the Wall Street Journal reported<\/a>\u00a0last week.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures \u2191 YM00 +1.01% sank about 380 points, or 1% byaround 11 p.m. Eastern on Sunday.S&P 500 futures \u2191 ES00 +1.30% and Nasdag-100futures \u4e2a NQ00 +1.42% were also down around 1%.

Bitcoin \u2191 BTCUSD +1.22%rallied to $87,287while the U.s. Dollar Index \u2191 DXY +0.15% fell 1%.

Stocks were mixed on Thursday, but all three major U.S. indexes logged weekly losses forthe third time in the past four weeks. The Dow \u2191 DJA +2.66% ended last week off 2.7%while the S&P 500 \u2191 $PX +2.51% dipped 1.5% and the Nasdag Composite\u4e2a COMP +2.71% slid 2.6%.

On Thursday, the Dow entered a “death cross” for the frst time since November 2023, asits 50-day moving average crossed below its 200-day moving average. While potentiallysignifying a more serious downward trend, historical data shows that the Dow’sperformance after a\u201cdeath cross” has been consistently positive.

In a note Sunday, Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPl Asset Management, calledTrump’s tariff plan \u201ca seismic wave that’s about to roll through the global economy.
\u201cAnd make no mistake, there’s a cost to all this,” he wrote.”Even if deals start rolling in, thereputational hit to the U.S. brand is real. Policy predictability is shot. Trade partners willrethink exposure. lnvestors will build in a U.S. political volatility premium that didn’t existbefore. You don’t take a sledgehammer to the global trade architecture and expecteveryone to forget it six months later.

There are also increasing\u00a0fears that President Donald Trump may try to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell<\/a>, after Trump increased his criticism of Powell last week and called for interest rates to be cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said Sunday that\u00a0U.S. economic activity could take a dive this summer<\/a>, following \u201cartificially high\u201d spring readings as businesses and consumers stock up on \u201cpreemptive purchasing\u201d before the tariffs take effect.
