T&G Market Recap: Stocks Jolt Higher as Trump Taps the Brakes on Tariffs—Oil Slumps in the New Energy Era 🚀🛢️

Wall Street cheers surprise restraint from POTUS 2.0, Netflix goes prime time, and oil feels the heat.

Day One (Kinda) Under Trump 2.0 🤝

The Dow was in turbo mode on Tuesday, soaring more than 500 points as investors wiped their brows in relief: President Donald Trump didn’t drop his tariff hammer on day one of his second presidency. Instead, we got an executive order or two — plus rumors that Canada and Mexico might see 25% duties starting in two weeks. Talk about suspense. 😱

• Dow Jones (^DJI) leaped 1.2%, breezing above the 44,000 mark.

• S&P 500 (^GSPC) climbed 0.9%, inching closer to record territory.

• Nasdaq (^IXIC) followed, with a tepid 0.6% gain as Apple and Tesla lagged but Nvidia soared.

Yes, there’s still a big question mark over Trump’s trade fireworks, but for now, markets exhaled. 🥂
