Stocks have rallied back from an early jolt Wednesday, as investors weighed whether back-and-forth tariff threats between the U.S. and China could escalate into full-fledged trade hostilities or if the two sides could eventually settle their differences.

China’s envoy to the WTO said Beijing would challenge the U.S. moves. Industrial companies were rocked. Aerospace company Boeing shed $7.62, or 2.3 percent, to $323.20. Farm equipment maker Deere lost $5.88, or 3.8 percent, to $147.16 and construction equipment maker Caterpillar fell $2.04, or 1.4 percent, to $143.02.
