The Dow Jones Industrial Average late-morning Friday was trading near session lows amid intensifying worries about trade conflicts between the U.S. and China. The Dow was down 430 points, or 1.8%, at 24,077, the S&P 500 index was off 1.3% at 2,627, and the Nasdaq Composite Index traded about 1.2% lower at 6,993. The White House said in a statement after the market close Thursday that Trump has asked the U.S. Trade Representative to consider an extra $100 billion in Chinese goods to face tariffs and to identify the products that could be targeted, escalating protectionist trade tensions that market participants fear could disrupt global economies. U.S. equity markets fell in after-hours trade late Thursday after reports about Trump's comments emerged. Friday's downdraft also came amid a jobs report for March that produced a weaker-than-expected headline figure, showing the U.S. economy added just 103,000 jobs versus forecasts for a rise of 170,000. Still, the data showed the labor market remains the tightest in nearly two decades. Read: MarketWatch's stock-market column here
U.S. stocks are firmly lower early Friday, pressured after a soft monthly U.S. jobs report, and as trade-war language intensifies. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500’s corrective bounce from the 200-day moving average has stalled almost precisely at major resistance (2,673).
U.S. stocks fell sharply on Friday, with major indexes erasing recent gains and pointing to weekly declines. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.6% while the S&P 500 lost 1.3% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 1.2%. The day's drop took both the S&P and the Nasdaq into negative territory for the week: the S&P is on track for a drop of 0.5% over the period while the Nasdaq is down 1%. It would be the third weekly drop of the past four for both. At current levels, the Dow is up less than 0.1% on the week. Friday's drop, driven by both concerns over a potential trade war and a weak jobs report, erased a three-day rally that had seemed to indicate growing stability in the market.

Stocks deepen losses; Dow down over 300 points
Share of Avis Budget Group Inc. edged up 0.3% in morning trade Friday, to be the only gainer among the Dow Jones Transportation Average's 20 components, after BlackRock Inc. disclosed a 10.0% stake in the car rental company. The filing Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows BlackRock owned 8.13 million Avis shares, up from the 7.44 million shares, or 9.2%, previous filings showed, according to FactSet. That makes BlackRock, which had equity holdings of $2.1 trillion as of the end of 2017, Avis's second-largest shareholder, behind only SRS Investment Management LLC, which owned 12.0 million shares, or 14.8% of the shares outstanding, according to FactSet. Avis's stock has rallied 11.9% over the past three months, while the Dow transports have lost 5.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slipped 4.3%.
Treasury yields fell on Friday as President Donald Trump said he was considering tariffs on another $100 billion in Chinese goods, potentially heightening a trade spat between the U.S. and China that has exacerbated volatility in an already tariff-stricken market.
