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.
Tech Stocks at the Forefront
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.
