Shares of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google were down on Friday morning.
The so-called FAANG stocks — Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet's Google — were all in the red on Friday morning.
The stock market opened on shaky footing, a day after an announcement by President Donald Trump that the US would impose tariffs on steel and aluminum next week sent shares in the major indices tumbling.
Here's how the individual FAANG stocks were doing this morning:

Trump's move has raised the spectre of a trade war and shook domestic companies that relied on steel and aluminum such as automakers, manufacturers, and beer producers, which were hit hard on the news.
The FAANG stocks could not escape the selloff in the broader market Thursday, seeing $56.41 billion wiped away from their market caps.
