The U.S.-China trade spat is cutting into the flow of soybeans, pork and other commodities from U.S. farms to one of the world’s biggest markets.

ZTE, one of China's leading technology companies, announced recently that it will end “major operating activities” after the U.S. government barred American firms from doing business with the telecom equipment maker.

U.S. companies lifted their outlook for investment this year while noting that tariffs will raise prices and cause supply disruptions, according to a private survey.
