Imagine if you went for a nap after Friday’s close and woke up today: BOOM – Dow’s up 1,033 points, Nasdaq’s up nearly 4%, and your watchlist looks like it drank four Red Bulls and a can of optimism.
And no, there wasn’t a new iPhone, alien invasion, or Fed rate cut. It was the good old “truce with China” move – and Wall Street went full Diwali mode.
Let’s unpack what happened, why everything went green, and whether this rally has legs… or if it’s just high on hopium.
🔥 Headline Summary: Wall Street Goes Brrr…
| Index | Close | Points Gained | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dow Jones | 42,258.58 | +1,033 | +2.5% |
| Nasdaq | 18,637.63 | +708.72 | +3.95% |
Yes, that’s not a typo. Even the finance minister of a small country would be jealous of that kind of spike.
🥢 So What Caused This?
Short answer: 🍜 U.S. and China called a 90-day ceasefire on trade tariffs.
Long answer: The markets have been shaky for weeks due to tariff
escalations. Today’s truce, likely over a quiet Zoom call and passive-aggressive diplomatic statements, gave bulls just enough excuse to slam the Buy button.
💻 Tech Stocks Said “We’re Back Baby”
The Nasdaq Composite was the real star of the show, jumping +3.95% – its best single-day gain in months.
| Stock | Move Today | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Marvell Tech | +12% | Earnings + AI + tariff relief = BOOM. |
| Micron | +9.5% | “We sell chips to everyone. Peace is good for business.” |
| Amazon | +7.8% | “Prime Day came early.” |
| Meta | +6.2% | Even Zuckerberg smiled today. Probably. |
🧢 Dow 30: Not Just a Boomer Index Anymore
The Dow Jones isn’t usually the place for fireworks. But today?
- Amazon added $14.99 → +118 points
