** Shares of U.S. insurers slump after China's finance ministry said on Friday it will respond to President Donald Trump's tariffs with additional tariffs of 34% on all U.S. goods from April 10
** MetLife MET.N falls 4%, Prudential Financial PRU.N falls 3.6%, Travelers TRV.N falls 1.6%, and American International Group AIG.N falls 1.4%
** "Within the P&C industry, we think the just-announced tariffs will mostly impact personal insurance claim costs, including more expensive car parts, used cars, and construction materials," said KBW analysts in a note
** Brokerage said insurers have time to file for rate increases, which state regulators are likely to approve
