Investors welcomed reports indicating that the next wave of President Trump's tariffs would be narrower than initially anticipated, leading to a surge in U.S. stocks. This optimism drove the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other major indexes higher, with the Dow gaining nearly 600 points. The rally was fueled by hopes that the tariffs scheduled for April 2 could be mitigated, providing a boost to equities across the board. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered ground on Monday, climbing back to 42,500 as investors anticipated easing tariff pressures. The positive sentiment was further supported by global stock rallies, with U.S. stocks leading the gains and U.S. Treasury yields climbing on the back of the tariff optimism.
