Trump's Tariff Pause Causes Market Surge

U.S. stocks surged significantly after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs, causing a dramatic rise in major indexes like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq. Despite this pause, tariffs on Chinese goods were increased to 125%, signaling continued tensions and potential volatility in financial markets. The Dow climbed 7.9%, the S&P 500 9.5%, and the Nasdaq 12.2%, marking one of Wall Street's best days since WWII. The tariff pause excluded countries that retaliated and aimed to ease investor concerns about a potential recession triggered by the trade war. Analysts suggest that while this move temporarily alleviates market anxiety, the broader trade conflict, especially with China, remains unresolved and could lead to future market unpredictability.
