The global rout in stock markets continued on Friday as worries deepened about a trade war, after China retaliated against President Trump’s sweeping tariffs with steep levies of its own on U.S. goods.

The S&P 500 fell 6 percent on Friday, pulling the benchmark U.S. index close to a bear market, Wall Street’s term for a decline of more than 20 percent from its latest peak, which was in mid-February. The index recorded its worst week since March 2020, the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, after two consecutive days of steep losses.

Losses were widespread, hitting technology companies as well as firms that rely on Chinese manufacturing in their supply chains. Apple shares dropped more than 7 percent. Shares in Caterpillar, which makes construction equipment, tumbled nearly 6 percent.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index fell 5.8 percent, pushing it into a bear market, down almost 23 percent from its record closing high in December.

European and Asian indexes also tumbled for a second day as investors weighed the economic effects of Mr. Trump’s tariffs, the dominant concern in markets. The Stoxx Europe 600 dropped more than 3 percent, erasing its gains for the year. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 fell 2.8 percent, matching its drop from the day before.
