The U.S. stock market saw significant gains on April 13, 2025, following President Trump’s announcement that key electronics, including smartphones and computers, would be exempt from tariffs. The move, which comes as part of ongoing efforts to ease trade tensions, had an immediate positive effect on market sentiment.

Investors cheered as the Dow Jones rose by over 2%, with major tech stocks leading the charge. The S&P 500 also posted a solid gain of 1.8%, signaling growing confidence in the U.S. economy and a potential resolution of trade disputes that had previously weighed on the market.

Despite the positive market reaction, analysts are keeping a watchful eye on further developments, as the global economic outlook remains somewhat uncertain.
