President Trump's 90-day suspension of punitive tariffs sparked a dramatic market rebound. The S&P 500 surged nearly 10%, while the Nasdaq Composite saw its largest gain since 2001. Cryptocurrencies mirrored this surge, with Bitcoin climbing back towards $83,000 and Ethereum rising nearly 13%. The Fear & Greed Index improved from 18 ("Extreme Fear") to 39 ("Fear").

Trump's Tariff Suspension Fuels Stock Market Rally

Five days after President Trump's trade actions sent shockwaves through stock and bond markets, a reprieve arrived. Following an initial dip, the S&P 500 soared almost 10%, and the Nasdaq Composite experienced its strongest rally since 2001. Treasury yields decreased, and the dollar strengthened against safe-haven currencies.

This dramatic market reversal, observed globally over the past four trading days, was directly attributed to President Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause on punitive tariffs. However, his escalating trade conflict with China remains a significant concern, with both sides implementing substantial tariff increases.

Broad-Based Cryptocurrency Gains

The cryptocurrency market followed the upward trend, with all top 10 cryptocurrencies experiencing significant gains. Bitcoin rose from approximately $74,000 to reach a peak of $83,554 before settling around $82,411, representing a 9.13% increase. Ethereum also saw substantial growth, rising over 15% in 24 hours.

Market Uncertainty Persists Despite Rally

Despite the market rally, the Fear & Greed Index indicates lingering uncertainty. It rose from 18 ("Extreme Fear") to 39 ("Fear"), suggesting that concerns remain regarding the recent trade war.

Significant Liquidations Highlight Volatility

The sharp market fluctuations resulted in substantial liquidations. Coinglass reported over $483 million in liquidated positions across various networks, including both long and short positions. This highlights the volatile market conditions and underscores the importance of robust risk management strategies for investors.
