Global investor sentiment hits new low last seen during March 2009, expectations stock prices will continue to fail hits 62%

China has hit back with 32% retaliatory tariffs, with expectations that other countries will follow suit

Global investor sentiment that stocks will fall in the next 6 months hits 62%, a level not seen since March 2009 during the housing bubble crisis.

What is everyone doing? Selling? DCA'ing this dip down? What should reasonable expectations for recovery be? Either the US uses this to negotiate new deals or continues this policy of isolationism for years?

edit: China is hitting back with 34% tariffs, not 32%
