- U.S. stock futures tilt slightly lower after The Trump Administration officially announces tariffs on $50B worth of imports from China.
- The first batch of $34B in tariffs will take effect July 6, while the remaining $16B is under review. China is expected to retaliate with its own new set of tariffs.
- "The United States can no longer tolerate losing our technology and intellectual property through unfair economic practices," Trump says on the trade action.
- Most retail organizations oppose the escalating tariff battle between the U.S. and China. "Imposing tariffs places the cost of China’s unfair trade practices squarely on the shoulders of American consumers, manufacturers, farmers, and ranchers. This is not the right approach," says U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue.
- S&P 500 Index futures -0.51%. Dow futures -0.77%. Nasdaq futures -0.48%.
- Many industries due to be hit be tariffs have already factored in the headwind, while analysts try to size up if there will be a lasting impact all the way down to the consumer level. Three companies that account for ~20% of the retail sector - Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Target (NYSE:TGT) and Walmart (NYSE:WMT) - are down about 0.50% in premarket action.
