Stocks plunge as trade-war worries rattle investors
West Texas Intermediate"Over the course of the last week or so we have seen ... an erosion in commitments by China," Lighthizer told reporters,"We're not breaking off talks at this point," he added, saying, however, that for now,"come Friday there will be tariffs in place."
Markets eased off lows after China confirmed that its top negotiator, Vice Premier Liu He, would travel to the US this week to continue trade talks,"What has become clear is that there is still a lot of work to be done before a trade deal between the world's two largest economies is achieved," said Jasper Lawler, the head of research at London Capital Group.

"Amid such highly sensitive market conditions, volatility is expected to be the order of the day," said Han Tan, a market analyst at FXTM. Another batch of tariffs, he said, could"trigger another selloff in riskier assets, as investors try and anticipate what higher barriers to trade may do for the already moderating global growth outlook."
