Following President Trump's unexpected tariff hikes on April 2, 2025, which triggered fears of a recession and led to a steep 12% plunge in the S&P 500 within four days, the U.S. stock market rapidly rebounded.

The turnaround began after Trump paused most tariffs—except those against China—sparking a 9.5% market rally. Subsequent de-escalatory signals, including eased tariffs on autos and electronics and improving U.S.-China relations, boosted investor confidence. (AP News)
