President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs on dozens of countries were set to take effect on Wednesday, including massive 104% duties on Chinese goods, deepening his global trade war even as he prepared for negotiations with some nations. Trump’s punishing tariffs have shaken a global trading order that has persisted for decades, raised fears of recession and driven worldwide stocks sharply downward. The S&P closed below 5,000 for the first time in nearly a year on Tuesday and is nearing a bear market, defined as 20% below its most recent high.
