Again, what happened today was totally predictable. Donald Trump did not issue any new tariffs and the markets rebounded and in big fashion.
When Trump keeps his mouth shut, the country benefits. That does not mean that the markets are out of the woods yet, even though all three major markets, the DOW, S&P500 and tech heavy NasDAQ have all rebounded. At a final minute tally, the Dow finished the day up by 1.65% for the day closing at 41,488.19. What a sharp difference from yesterday’s trading as it ended yesterday at 40,813.57.
So yes, the market rebounded at least for one day, while adding 674.62 points. It saved the week from total annialation. For what’s been happening lately, that’s quite impressive. The usual winners were NVIDIA Corp and American Express stocks. These are known as staple stocks, in which other major companies try to rally with and emulate their businesses and practices around these companies that always seem to be on top.
What does NVIDIA offer to the markets that’s so appealing?
One product would be the implementation of AI. This form of technology that seems to take over the mindset of intellectual thinking adds computer logic to the human formula to come up with a product that is far superior than if the result was created by just the human mind.
NVidia has been into the computer scene for quite a while now and they seem to have all the answers to keep things rolling smoothly and going in a positive direction. When you check the markets recently, Donald Trump’s political maneuvering continued to shake global markets and rattle US consumers. But even during Trump’s tariff statements that seem to crash the markets each day, NVidia seems to alway be able to pull through, or at least I should say that they pull through more times than they fail too. Every company has their bad days, but if I had money to wager on a stock just a few months ago, I would have put my bet with NVidia. Today, their performance was stellar, as shares are jumping, now up 3.5% as they are building servers with AI capability.
American Express has been one of the companies that are always on top and always a good bet to perform well in the markets.
Since I mention Donald Trump quite a bit in this website, I wanted to say something that is happening that is POSITIVE and most likely BECAUSE of Donald Trump.
Investors are exhausted after recent financial market chaos, but there’s one perk for weary homebuyers and that is lower mortgage rates. The 30- and 15-year mortgage rates have both steadily dipped for six weeks straight alongside bond yields. Actually that is teriffic news. Way to go Donald… But I would suffice to say he does not even realize that he actually is the reason for something good that’s happening. I think even ‘The Donald’ would be suprised.
