US stocks surged Monday after a significant de-escalation in US-China trade tensions. Tariffs were drastically reduced, averting a potential recession. The Dow Jones rose 2.3%, S&P 500 by 2.7%, and Nasdaq by 3.5%. This follows months of escalating tariffs and trade war threats.

Tech stocks and luxury goods makers saw particularly strong gains.
