The stock market kicked off the trading week brimming with optimism after the US and China announced a tariff truce on each other’s goods.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq booked the largest gains among the three major indices, rallying 4.85 percent. The S&P 500 followed with a 3.26-percent increase, and the Dow Jones, with 2.81 percent.
Over the weekend, the US and China reached a 90-day deal to lower tariffs on each other’s imports. US taxes on Chinese imports will drop to 30 percent from 145 percent previously, while China’s tariffs on US imports will drop to 10 percent from 125 percent earlier.

WeRide snapped a three-day losing streak on Monday, jumping 27.47 percent to finish at $10.21 each as investors resorted to bargain-hunting supported by the US and China’s tariff cooldown.
The news was particularly a boost for WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD) as investors turned more hopeful for its planned global expansion, in partnership with ride-hailing giant Uber Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD).
Last week, the two companies said they deepened their collaboration to expand into 15 more cities, including Europe and the Middle East.
“This expansion aligns with WeRide’s ambitious strategy for global growth—to make autonomous driving solutions more affordable and accessible to people worldwide,” said WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD) CEO Han Xu.
The two firms kicked off their partnership last year with the launch of robotaxis in Abu Dhabi, and later on, in Dubai, as they aim to expand their autonomous vehicle partnership to several new cities each year, all outside of the US and China.
