  3. US500 Posts the third biggest single day gain since WW2!
  • S&P 500 posted its third-largest daily gain since WWII
  • Rally fueled by Trump’s 90-day tariff pause on non-retaliating nations
  • Tech giants like Nvidia (+18.7%) and Tesla (+22.7%) led market gains
  • China’s tariff was increased to 125%, signaling continued trade strain

 

The S&P 500 soared 10.25% on Wednesday, closing at 5,484.6 in a historic rebound driven by President Donald Trump's surprise announcement of a 90-day pause on many “reciprocal” tariffs.

The move sparked one of the biggest rallies since WWII, with the S&P posting its third-largest single-day gain in postwar history.

Market sentiment flipped sharply as megacap tech stocks like Nvidia (+18.7%), Tesla (+22.7%), and Apple (+15.3%) led the charge.

This rally came after a brutal four-day sell-off triggered by intensifying trade tensions.

Though Trump eased tariffs for most nations, he hiked China’s to 125%, signaling ongoing strain.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that the 10% baseline tariff now applies to countries not retaliating.

Despite lingering uncertainty, Wednesday saw record trading volume, with over 30 billion shares changing hands.

 

However, market participants remain cautious, warning that the rally may be short-lived if trade negotiations stall after the 90-day window closes.
