U.S. Stock Market Experiences Record Gains Amid Economic Uncertainty

According to BlockBeats, the Dow Jones Index surged nearly 3,000 points, marking a 7.87% increase, the largest in its history. The S&P 500 Index rose by 9.52%, achieving its biggest single-day gain since 2008, while the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 12.16%, its largest increase since January 2001. Historically, such record-breaking rallies have occurred during bear market crises, including: - After the 'Black Monday' crash in October 1987, the Nasdaq rebounded approximately 10.4% two days later. - During the burst of the dot-com bubble in 2000, the Nasdaq experienced several rebounds, such as a 7.8% rise on April 18, 2000. - Amid the 2008-2009 financial crisis, the Nasdaq fluctuated significantly, rebounding 11.81% on October 13, 2008, following government intervention. - In 2022, after three quarters of decline, the Nasdaq rebounded 7.35% on November 10, as U.S. CPI data fell below expectations, suggesting inflation had peaked. - During U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff period, the Nasdaq dropped 13% over four trading days. However, after Trump unexpectedly announced a 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs, U.S. stocks rebounded sharply, with the Nasdaq rising 12%. Analysts note that this market volatility differs significantly from previous 'dead cat bounces.' Many investors believe the current turmoil could be easily avoided if Trump changes his stance. Nonetheless, businesses face uncertain prospects, with many potentially needing to pause plans to assess how existing and anticipated tariffs will impact costs and revenue, and determine necessary actions to strengthen supply chains.
