US Emerges as Biggest Loser in Markets From Trump’s Tariffs

Donald Trump’s shake-up of the global trading system is hurting US assets more than those in many of the big economies he has just slapped with additional tariffs.

US equity index futures tumbled more than 4% after the US President announced a sweeping series of tariffs following the market close on Wednesday, and a gauge of the dollar slumped.
