U.S. stocks rallied and recovered more than half of their sell-off from Friday.
The S&P 500 jumped 1.6% Monday for its best day since May. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 587 points, and the Nasdaq composite leaped 2.2%.
The indexes rose after President Donald Trump softened his criticism of China, just a couple days after he shocked the market by threatening much higher tariffs on the world’s second-largest economy. Continued excitement about artificial-intelligence technology also helped drive the market, and Broadcom helped lead the way.
