Wall St opens higher after long weekend on Trump's trade reprieve
- Wall Street's main indexes rose sharply on Tuesday, May 28, after President Trump delayed a 50% tariff on European Union imports until July 9 in the U.S.
- Trump initially threatened the tariffs for June 1, but rolled back the threat to ease trade tensions and allow talks between Washington and the EU's 27 nations.
- The delay improved investor sentiment, with the Dow up about 400 points, the S&P 500 rising 77 points, and Nvidia leading gains amid a mixed global market.
- A Conference Board report revealed that U.S. Consumer confidence jumped to a level of 98 in May, surpassing the anticipated figure of 87 and indicating renewed short-term optimism despite ongoing tariff concerns.
- While the tariff pause boosted markets and raised hopes for a trade deal by July 9, caution remains as talks do not guarantee results and economic risks persist from ongoing uncertainty.
