[BRIEFING.COM] Losses are mounting in the major equity indices. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is spiking at the same time, up 8.96 to 42.58.
The acceleration follows clarification from the White House that the total tariff rate on China is 145% (the 125% addition announced earlier plus the existing 20% fentanyl-related rate).
The downside action is acting as its own catalyst, inviting additional selling interest for skittish participants.
