Apple Fuels Global Rally as U.S.–China Trade Tensions Ease

Global stocks soared as Apple’s share price jumped nearly 4%, driven by stronger-than-expected iPhone sales in both the U.S. and China.

Adding to the optimism, signs of a thaw in U.S.–China trade relations boosted investor sentiment and reignited risk appetite across markets.

 

Major U.S. indexes — Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq — all climbed more than 1%, approaching record highs. Asian markets followed the rally, with Japan and Hong Kong posting strong gains.

 

Still, investors remain cautious about three key risks:

1️⃣ A potential U.S. government shutdown that could delay economic data reports.

2️⃣ Volatility in 10-year Treasury yields, signaling uncertainty over rate expectations.

3️⃣ Ongoing trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing.

 

💬 For investors:

The returning “Risk-On” mood may attract foreign capital inflows into Asian equities — especially in Tech, Export, and Electronics sectors.

 

📊 TrendPro Insight:

“The rally shows how markets remain driven by sentiment over fundamentals — one positive headline can lift everything, but the tide can turn just as fast.”
