U.S. stock markets experienced gains as President Trump announced exemptions for certain electronics from tariffs, leading to a rally in technology stocks, including major players like Apple and Nvidia. However, confusion persists regarding the longevity of these exemptions, as Trump warned that tariffs on computer chips and other electronics might still be forthcoming. European markets also reported increases amidst speculation over Trump’s ongoing trade negotiations with China. Despite the temporary relief for investors, concerns about future tariffs and the impact on trade relations remain, prompting analysts to closely monitor any updates regarding the semiconductor industry and the evolving landscape of U.S.-China trade.
