🗞️ Markets Explode as Trump Pauses Tariffs – Global Rally Ensues
The numbers are changing by the second!
U.S. and Canadian markets roared higher today in one of the most dramatic single-day rallies. Following former President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 90-day pause on most tariffs—while increasing tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%—investors responded with overwhelming optimism.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 2,640 points (7%), closing at 40,288.36, breaking records and fueling investor confidence. The S&P 500 rose 8.3% to close at 5,393.33, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 10.3% to hit 16,868.72, its most significant single-day percentage gain in over a decade. (AP News)
Meanwhile, Canada joined the celebration. The S&P/TSX Composite Index climbed by 4.88%, closing at 23,604.48 after dipping in early trading. Economic optimism surged on both sides of the border, erasing earlier fears that Canada would be left behind in the rally. (St. Albert Gazette)
“This is one of the biggest one-day gains in market value ever,” reports Business Insider, citing a $3 trillion surge in U.S. market capitalization alone.
💡 Why It Matters
This synchronized surge across North American markets shows how geopolitical shifts and tariff adjustments can spark global optimism. While trade tensions with China remain, the temporary tariff pause has relieved pressure on key sectors and sparked renewed growth momentum.
