Global equity futures dropped on Tuesday as US-China trade tensions escalated. Beijing vowed to “fight to the end” following President Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. Despite attempts over the weekend to ease rhetoric, both countries are imposing new port fees on each other’s vessels, marking an intensifying dispute ahead of planned Trump-Xi talks.
The Real Traders Aren't on CNBC
Your current options for finding stock trades:
Option 1: Spend 4 hours daily reading everything online
Option 2: Pay $500/month for paywalled newsletters and pray
Option 3: Get yesterday's news from mainstream financial media
All three keep you broke.
Here's where the actual edge lives:
Twitter traders sharing real setups (not TV personalities)
Crowdfunding opportunities before they go mainstream
IPO alerts with actual timing
Reddit communities spotting trends early
Crypto insider takes (not corporate PR)
The problem? You'd need to be terminally online to track it all.

Bloomberg reports that China also sanctioned five US subsidiaries of South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean, and imposed additional port fees on US-linked vessels, while US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused Beijing of deliberately undermining the global economy. Bessent said China’s export controls are disrupting global supply chains and attempting to weaken the global economy, warning that such tactics could backfire on Beijing.
As a reminder, Trump’s tariff threat was a response to China’s export controls on rare earths and critical minerals, with both sides seeking leverage ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum later this month.
S&P 500 futures fell -1.0% and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped -1.2%. All members of the Magnificent 7 traded lower pre-market, while European stocks slumped -0.6%.
Investors now wait to see whether the Trump administration will escalate the back-and-forth or try to calm the situation.
