Dow adds 1,100 points, S&P 500 up 3% after the U.S. and China slash tariffs
- On Monday, U.S. Financial markets rallied strongly following a weekend agreement in Switzerland where President Trump’s chief trade officials reached a significant easing of trade tensions with China.
- The easing followed earlier high tariffs that reached 145% on many Chinese imports and 125% on US goods, as part of a trade war that began after Trump's April 2 'Liberation Day' tariff rollout.
- The tariff reductions lowered US tariffs on Chinese goods to 30% and China's retaliatory tariffs to 10%, establishing a framework for continued talks and mechanisms to avoid future tariff hikes.
- The Dow closed up 1,161 points , the S&P 500 gained 3.26%, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 4.35%, marking the largest single-day gains in over a month and ending Nasdaq's bear market.
- Experts noted the de-escalation could reduce global recession risks and represents a big win for the US economy, though the tariff cuts are temporary and uncertainty about future outcomes remains.
