Welcome to your daily Stock Market Summary from MARKETSNAP! Today was a whirlwind on Wall Street, as President Trump announced a 90-day pause on most new tariffs, causing the market to rebound dramatically. This move came after a tumultuous period, and the market responded with one of the biggest gains in recent history. The Dow Jones surged over 2,900 points, while the S&P 500 saw its largest single-day gain since 2008. The Nasdaq wasn’t left behind, climbing significantly as tech stocks led the charge.
Leading the pack were tech giants like Apple and Nvidia, both experiencing substantial increases. Apple had its best day since 1998, boosted by the tariff pause, while Nvidia soared as its AI chips might be spared from export restrictions. Tesla also joined the rally, with its stock rocketing upwards amidst the broader market relief.
On the flip side, sectors like pharmaceuticals faced pressure as Trump hinted at potential tariffs on imported drugs, causing stocks like Eli Lilly and AbbVie to slide. Meanwhile, the European Union is set to impose tariffs on U.S. goods, adding a layer of complexity to the trade landscape.
In the world of earnings, companies like Delta Air Lines and Constellation Brands were in the spotlight. Delta reported better-than-expected earnings but withdrew its full-year forecast due to economic uncertainty. Constellation Brands, despite a weaker outlook, is repositioning its business to focus on higher-margin brands.
Today’s market action was a testament to the volatility and rapid shifts that can occur with policy announcements. As we look ahead, investors will be keenly watching for further developments in trade negotiations and their potential impacts on the global economy.
