**Overnight Markets and News**
Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU18 -0.68%) this morning are down -0.63% as global stock markets slide as the trade war between the U.S. and China escalates. The U.S. said it plans to impose additional 10% tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese products after China failed to respond to concerns over unfair trade practices and China's abuse of American intellectual property.

There is no justification for such action." China's Commerce Ministry said it would be forced to retaliate as the latest move by the U.S. was "totally unacceptable."
