Wall Street Rallies As Trump's Tariff Threat Fades, Broadcom Jumps 10%: What's Moving Markets Monday?

Wall Street kicked off the week in full risk-on mode after President Donald Trump softened his tone on China over the weekend, reversing much of Friday's sharp sell-off and reigniting risk appetite across asset classes.

The S&P 500 jumped 1.5%, clawing back more than half of its 2.7% drop from Friday — the index's worst session since April. The Nasdaq 100 surged nearly 2%, halving its prior 3.5% decline, and was on track for its best day since May.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.3%, while small-caps led the advance with the Russell 2000 up 2.3%.

The rebound came after Trump appeared to walk back his tariff threats on Chinese imports.

“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I,” he wrote.

Away from markets, Trump traveled to Israel to address the Knesset following the release of the first group of hostages from Hamas.
