Dow adds 1,100 points, S&P 500 up 3% after the U.S. and China slash tariffs
- On Monday, U.S. stocks surged sharply after the United States and China agreed to slash most tariffs in a 90-day truce to ease trade tensions.

- The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 1,161 points , the S&P 500 increased by 3.3%, and the Nasdaq rose 4.3%, recording their largest single-day gains in over a month and marking the Nasdaq's recovery from a bear market.
