US stocks fell on Friday as China struck back at President Trump’s latest tariff with a total 125% tax — further escalating trade tensions between the two nations.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 254 points, or 0.6%, after plummeting 1,014.79 the day before.

The index has been on a wild ride over the past week as markets struggle to absorb back-and-forth trade war news, plunging more than 4,000 points after Trump revealed his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs last Wednesday, then recovering more than 1,500 points this week after he announced a 90-day pause on most of his harsher tariffs.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq dipped 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively, Friday morning.

Why is everyone panicking about tariffs?

It’s just more money and we all know there’s an infinite amount of cash at the Federal Reserve.

Tariffs were always going to cause stocks to dip so I’m not sure why people are surprised.

I think China is paying too much attention to what they see in the media. If you went by that you would believe the country is outraged 100% against what Trump is doing, which of course is wrong.

Tariffs are paid INTO the Treasury.
