Yet market strategists caution that history suggests such shocks rarely mark the beginning of prolonged downturns and have often preceded recoveries.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1698\">U.S. equities fell sharply this week as investors reacted to rising geopolitical uncertainty tied to renewed trade tensions and diplomatic disputes.
