U.S. stocks appear set for a negative opening on Friday as President Donald Trump unleashed tariffs globally ranging from 10% to 41%, applicable on countries with which the United States has not signed a trade deal since the announcement of “Liberation Day” levies in April.

President Trump told NBC News in a telephonic interview that while his administration was open to offers from countries impacted by these levies, it was “too late” for some countries to avoid these duties.

While Dow Jones futures were down 0.94% at the time of writing, the S&P 500 futures fell 0.95%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100’s futures tumbled 1.1%. Futures of the Russell 2000 index were down 1.46%.

Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) declined 0.92% at the time of writing, while Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) was down 1.11% on Friday morning. Retail sentiment around the S&P 500 ETF on Stocktwits was in the ‘bullish’ territory.

Asian markets ended Friday’s trading session on a negative note, with the KOSPI declining the most at 4.04%, followed by the Hang Seng index at 1.38%, and the Nikkei 225 at 0.55%.

The TWSE Capitalization Weighted Stock index declined 0.46%, while the Shanghai Composite fell 0.37%.
