The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 1,160 points (2.8%) on Monday after Washington and Beijing agreed to a 90-day pause and steep cuts in their reciprocal tariffs. The S&P 500 climbed 3.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 4.4%, marking one of the strongest single-day gains in recent years.
Tech Stocks at the Forefront
Leading the charge were heavyweight technology names benefiting from eased input-cost concerns and renewed risk appetite:
Amazon (AMZN): +5.1%
Alphabet Class A (GOOGL): +4.7%
Apple (AAPL): +4.3%
Investor optimism was further fueled by reports that Apple may raise iPhone prices—even absent new tariffs—as it leans into premium positioning.
Tariff Rollback Details
In Geneva talks, both sides agreed to:
U.S. Tariffs on China: Cut from 145% to 30%
China’s Levies on U.S.: Reduced from 125% to 10%
90-Day Cool-Off: No new duties while working-level discussions continue
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that “neither side wanted a decoupling,” underscoring a shared interest in stabilizing trade flows.
