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.
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.
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.
The tariff news sparked a rotation out of defensive sectors into growth and cyclical names, underpinning broad-based gains.
