Dow jumps nearly 1,000 and S&P 500 climbs 2.6% following a 90-day truce in the US-China trade war
SUMMARY: U.S. stocks surged Monday after China and the U.S. agreed to a 90-day truce in their trade war, reducing most tariffs that threatened a recession and supply shortages. The S&P 500 rose 2.6%, nearing its February high, while the Dow gained 957 points and the Nasdaq 3.6%. Crude oil prices and the dollar also climbed, and Treasury yields jumped as rate cut expectations lessened. The tariff reductions—U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods cut from 145% to 30%, China’s on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%—mark progress but last only 90 days. Global markets, including India and Pakistan, also rallied amid easing conflicts and economic support.
