US Markets Open With Jump Up After Three Days Of Decline

Stock indices are growing by more than 3%.

The main US indices jumped at the opening of trading in the US. Before that, the S&P 500, NASDAQ Composite and Dow Jones had fallen for three days in a row, as investors feared the onset of an economic recession after the introduction of tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump.

At the opening, the indices show the following values:

The broad market index S&P 500 jumped by 3.39%, to 5233.96 points;

The technology NASDAQ Composite rose by 3.72%, to 16,185.24 points;

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 3.58%, to 39,323.33 points.

The growth of world markets on April 8 began with Japan. The Nikkei 225 index gained 6.03% in a day, TOPIX rose by 6.26%. Shares of Japanese companies jumped after Trump instructed two members of his cabinet to start bilateral trade talks with Japan regarding the tariffs.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that nearly 70 countries have approached the US with requests for talks, and allowed for the possibility that “as a result of good negotiations” the tariff rates could be reduced. Bloomberg writes that traders have gained hope that Donald Trump may be ready to soften his position on trade terms. Thus, Trump said that China wants to make a deal on tariffs. This pushed US stock prices up.
