Stocks on Monday were well on their way to recovering their sudden, steep losses on Friday. The big reason was President Trump’s softening of his threat to boost tariffs by 100% on Chinese imports to the U.S. Many Trump watchers were interpreting the big tariff threat as a negotiating tactic designed to get China to negotiate seriously on a trade deal.
Also helping investors' sentiment: the return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas and a peace summit in the Middle East.
The S&P 500 was up 1.5% to 6,653. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 2% to 26,658. The Dow Jones industrials added 1.3%, or 574 points to 45,056, recovering nearly two-thirds of Friday’s 879-point loss.
Technology stocks were leading the S&P 500 after getting drubbed on Friday. A catalyst was Broadcom’s deal to make custom chips and networking equipment for ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence company.
Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase were leading the Dow. Both report third-quarter results on Tuesday.
Oil prices were higher. Gold and silver prices were hitting new highs. The U.S. Treasury market was closed in observance of Columbus Day.
Crypto trader famed for calling the 2022 market bottom, warns Trump's tariff-driven meltdown may be a “pre–Black Swan event” as over $19B in crypto positions vanish.
