On Wednesday, April 9, U.S. markets closed higher in a powerful rebound. The S&amp;P 500 soared 9.5%—its largest single-day gain since 2008—after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for many countries with a 10% reciprocal Tariff on all except China, offering relief to anxious investors.
The rally was further fueled by strong demand in a U.S. Treasury auction, upbeat earnings from Delta Air Lines, and broad-based buying interest. Yet uncertainty remains over future policy shifts, inflation risks, and the upcoming earnings season.
On the economic front, mortgage applications surged 20% in the first week of April, reflecting renewed consumer activity.
All 11 sectors in the S&amp;P 500 finished in positive territory, with consumer discretionary, information technology, and communication services posting the strongest gains.

Benzinga Market Summary: S&P Volatile Amid US-China Trade Tensions, Drug Stocks Slide As Trump Reportedly Indicates Pharmaceutical Tariffs, Gold Surges On Macro Uncertainty, Oil Continues Lower

On Tuesday, April 8th, U.S. markets closed sharply lower as the S&amp;P 500 plunged below 5,000 for the first time in nearly a year, capping a four-day loss of $5.83 trillion—the steepest since the index&#8217;s inception in the 1950s.

USA API Weekly Crude Oil Stock 1.057M Barrel Draw; 6.037M Barrel Build Prior

WIIM

Oil is trading lower, continuing to fall after OPEC+'s recent decision to accelerate production hikes. Trade war fears could also be weighing on demand outlook.

On Monday, April 7th, U.S. markets closed mixed; U.S. stocks dropped Monday as fears of economic slowdown and rising inflation grew, sparked by President Trump&#8217;s stance on tariffs against China.
The S&amp;P 500 and Dow hit new lows before briefly rallying, only to fall again. Market volatility soared, and investors lost confidence in Trump&#8217;s trade strategy, leading to massive losses and uncertainty.
In economic data, the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index slipped by 0.7% in March compared to the previous month, continuing the same rate of decline seen in February.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors fell Monday, led by real estate, materials, and utilities, while communication services and tech stocks ended higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.91% to 37,965.60, the S&amp;P 500 dropped 0.23% to 5,062.25, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.10% to close at 15,603.26.
Global markets rebounded Tuesday after heavy losses, with Asian, European, and U.S. stocks stabilizing amid hopes for trade talks. Despite some optimism, volatility remained high as tariff tensions persisted.

Global Markets Rebound In Relief Rally, Gold Back To $3,000

Trump Says We're Having Direct Talks With Iran, Says Doing A Deal Would Be Preferable

Oil is trading lower, with crude dropping to 2021 levels, following OPEC+'s decision to accelerate production hikes. The market is also grappling with fears of a recession, fueled by President Trump's recent tariff announcements and China's retaliatory measures, which have heightened concerns over global demand.

<a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1909258777380974625" title="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1909258777380974625">https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1909258777380974625</a>

Donald J. Trump Posts On X "Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place."

Last week, the price of WTI crude oil recorded its largest weekly loss in two years after President Donald Trump announced a tougher-than-anticipated set of tariffs, prompting swift retaliation from China, the world's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44663034/asia-in-freefall-hang-seng-posts-worst-drop-since-1997-europe-market-tumbles-oil-slips-gold-eases-global-markets-today-while-us-slept"> largest importer of oil.&nbsp;</a>
WTI futures fell further on Monday to just above $60 per barrel, the lowest level since April 2021, as concerns that the escalating trade war could slow the global economy and weaken energy demand.
Economists at Goldman Sachs published a note on Sunday night raising their recession <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44665493/us-recession-countdown-has-begun-as-trump-tariffs-push-odds-to-45-goldman-sachs-warns">probability forecast </a>from 35% to 45%, citing the sharp tightening of financial conditions and a spike in policy uncertainty.

Energy analysts at Goldman Sachs followed by further reducing their year-end oil forecasts to $62 per barrel for Brent and $58 for WTI, with additional downside expected in 2026. The analysts noted recent GDP downgrades and forecasts of a "stagnating" U.S. economy.&nbsp;
Adding to the pressure on oil prices, last week, eight OPEC+ oil producers announced nearly triple the expected production increase to 411,000 barrels per day versus the anticipated increase of just under 140,000 barrels per day next month. 
At $60 per barrel for WTI crude, prices have fallen below the $65 threshold identified by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas as the break-even point for Permian Basin operators like Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>). 
However, Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently said that the U.S. shale sector is capable of ramping up oil production even if prices fall to $50 per barrel.&nbsp;
In the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' most recent quarterly survey, leaders in the oil and gas industry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/03/44522105/oil-and-gas-executives-rebuke-trumps-drill-baby-drill-agenda-we-want-more-stability">expressed frustration</a> with the Trump administration.
"The administration's chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets. ‘Drill, baby, drill' is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry. Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn't have a clear goal. We want more stability," one exploration and production executive said.
Shares of the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) ETF, which tracks the spot price of WTI crude oil, were down nearly 15% over the past week. At the time of publication on Monday, WTI crude was trading at $60.90 per barrel.

Oil Crashes To $60 Per Barrel As Global Recession Fears Grow

Benzinga Market Summary: S&P Rebounds Following Tariff-Driven Selloff, Oil Turns Positive Despite Economic Concerns And OPEC+ Output Hike

On Friday, April 4th, U.S. markets closed sharply lower, marking Wall Street&#8217;s second consecutive day of steep losses. The Nasdaq officially entered a bear market, while the Dow slipped into correction territory amid intensifying global trade tensions.
President Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs sparked fears of a global recession, erasing trillions in market value. Investor panic surged as volatility spiked, and world leaders scrambled to coordinate responses to the escalating trade conflict.
In economic data, March U.S. nonfarm payrolls jumped by 228,000, beating forecasts and the recent average. February&#8217;s figure was revised down to 117,000. Unemployment rose slightly to 4.2%, against expectations of no change. Average hourly earnings grew 0.3% month-over-month and 3.8% year-over-year, just below the 3.9% forecast.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors fell Friday, led by financials, energy, and tech, amid heightened volatility, while consumer staples rose as investors turned to defensive assets.

Benzinga Market Summary China Imposes 34% Tariffs On US Goods, S&P Falls Over 3% On Tariff Tensions; US Dollar Rises, Oil Falls Amid Tariff Concerns And OPEC Production Increase

On Thursday, April 3, U.S. markets experienced their steepest one-day losses in years, driven by President Trump&#8217;s tariff on U.S. imports, which sparked concerns of a global trade war and potential recession.
Investors fled to safer assets as countries like China and the EU threatened retaliation. Amid the market chaos, traders now expect multiple Federal Reserve rate cuts, with June seen as the likely starting point.

The ISM services PMI fell to 50.8 in March, down from 53.5 in February and below the expected 53.

Global Selloff Deepens, Oil Prices Tumble Amid Trump's Tariff Fallout - Global Markets Today While US Slept

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a slew of tougher-than-anticipated tariffs, but there are some <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-addresses-the-threat-to-national-security-from-imports-of-timber-lumber-and-their-derivative-products/">notable exemptions</a> to the steep levies.&nbsp;
Here's a look at which products and sectors are excluded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">from the reciprocal tariffs:&nbsp;</a>
Semiconductors: Semiconductors were exempted from the sweeping new tariffs due to their critical role in many technologies. However, the sector was deep in the red in Thursday's trading with shares of Broadcom, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) down 6.78% and ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) down 3.69%.&nbsp;

Pharmaceuticals: Trump excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry that had been under pressure following the president's prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff on pharmaceutical imports.&nbsp;
"The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick," Trump said Wednesday. "We have a tremendous problem, we have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick. If anything ever happened from a war standpoint, we wouldn't be able to do it."
Pharmaceutical stocks are defying Thursday's broad market drop with shares of AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) both in the green in mid-morning trading. 
Lumber: Lumber is another product excluded from Trump's tariff plan, for now. The administration said it is investigating how reliance on imported lumber impacts national security and economic stability. Exemptions have been granted to avoid immediate disruptions in supply chains critical to construction and defense in the meantime.&nbsp;
Gold, Copper: Certain metals and minerals including copper, gold and others not found in the U.S. were also exempted from the reciprocal tariff plan.&nbsp;
Gold dropped more than 3%, falling below $3,060 per ounce on Thursday after touching a new record high above $3,160. The SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), tracking the price of gold, was down only slightly, bucking the broader market declines.&nbsp;
Energy: Oil, gas and refined products imports were exempted from the sweeping new reciprocal tariffs, the White House said on Wednesday.&nbsp;
Shares of the United States Oil Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) fell 7.8% on Thursday, however, as the sweeping tariff plan could threaten global demand.&nbsp;
