Major Averages Recover From Early Sell-Off To Close Mixed

After moving sharply lower early in the session, stocks showed a significant rebound over the course of the trading day on Monday. The major averages climbed well off their worst levels of the day to close mixed.

The Dow jumped 417.86 points or 1 percent to 42,001.76 and the S&P 500 climber 30.91 points or 0.6 percent to 5,611.85.

The Nasdaq bounced well off its lows but still ended the day down 23.70 points or 0.1 percent at 17,299.29

The early weakness on Wall Street came amid ongoing concerns about the impact of President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs on U.S. trade partners, which are due to be imposed on Wednesday, April 2nd.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday that the reciprocal tariffs would target all countries and not just a smaller group with the biggest trade imbalances.

“You’d start with all countries,” Trump said. “Essentially all of the countries that we’re talking about.”

Traders worry Trump’s tariffs and possible retaliatory actions by targeted countries will fuel inflation, keep interest rates elevated and drag down global economic growth.

Selling pressure waned over the course of the session, however, as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 hit new six-months lows inspired some traders to pick up stocks at reduced levels.

On the U.S. economic front, MNI Indicators released a report showing an unexpected increase by its reading on Chicago-area business activity in the month of March.

MNI Indicators said its Chicago business barometer climbed to 47.6 in March from 45.5 in February. Economists had expected the reading to dip to 44.1.

With the increase, the index reached its highest level since November 2023, although it remained in contraction territory for the sixteenth successive month.

Sector News

Biotechnology stocks helped lead the rebound on Wall Street, with the NYSE Biotechnology Index surging by 3.3 percent.

Significant strength also emerged among banking stocks, as reflected by the 1.3 percent gain posted by the KBW Bank Index.

Utilities and oil producer stocks also saw notable strength, while considerable weakness remained visible among airline and computer hardware stocks.

Other Markets

In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly lower during trading on Monday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index plunged by 4.1 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index slumped by 1.3 percent.

The major European markets also showed significant moves to the downside. While the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index is down by 1.0 percent, the German DAX Index and the French CAC 40 Index are down by 1.6 percent.

In the bond market, treasuries are extending the strong upward move seen in the previous session. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, is down by 3.4 basis points at 4.221 percent.

This started Feb 9m 1990, James Baker III the Sec of State said to Mikhail Gorbachav, NATO will not move one inch east wood if you agree to German Unification basically ending WW II. The US then cheated in 1994 when Clinton signed off on a plan to extend NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is when the so-called NEOCONS took power. Clinton as the first agent of this. Expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic. Russian shrugged that off thinking was no direct threat. Then the U.S. led the bombing of Servia in 1999. This was bad because because it was NATA bombing a European capital, Belgrade 78 days to break the country apart. Russians did not like that but Putin became President and swallowed it andu even started out pro-European and pro-American suggesting that they should join NATO thinking there was still some mutual respect. Then came 911 and Afghanistan and the Russians said we can support you to root out terror. In 2002 the U.S. unilaterally walked out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty which led to the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe which Russia views as a dire direct threat to national security, making possible a  strike’ on missiles a few minutes away from Moscow. US put in two AEGIS missile systems calling it ‘defense’. Russia asked how do we know its not Tomahawk nuclear tipped missiles. In 2003 we invaded Iraq on completely phony. In 2004-5 US was involved in a soft regime change in Ukraine. Called the ‘First Color Revolution. Put in President Yushchenko. US had it dirty hands in this meddling in other countries elections. In 2009 Yamukovych won the election and became President on the basis of neutrality for Ukraine. People of Ukraine did not want NATO. Country was divided between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. ‘Why do want this? In 2014 the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yamukovych – a typical US regime change operation. In 2019 we walked out of the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty. In 2017 we walked out of the JCPOA Treaty with Iran. On Dec 15, 2021 Putin put on the table a draft US/Russia Security Agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement. Jake Sullivan said the U.S. had an OPEN DOOR policy.

Yes, that’s a cartoon of me. Louis Rukeyser had us dressed up in ‘elf’ costumes on the screen broadcast each week. I’ve dated myself. That occurred for me between 1988-1996. Lou didn’t like any bearish comments, so myself and other elves got dumped in 1996.
