trumps tariff pause boosts us investors by 48 trillion

Investors in the United States stock market saw a massive windfall on Wednesday, raking in gains estimated at 4.8 trillion, following President Donald Trump's announcement of a 90-day suspension of tariffs for all countries except China.

The market reacted positively to the announcement, rebounding sharply after several days of losses. By the close of trading on Wednesday, US stocks had surged into bullish territory, driven by renewed investor confidence.

According to market data from Dow Jones, the US stock market recorded a historic recovery, with its total market capitalization increasing by 4.8 trillion in a single session.

The S P 500 soared by 8.9 percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite jumped by about 11 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also posted impressive gains, rising by 2,756 points, or 7.2 percent.

In response to the market turnaround, Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius revised the firm's earlier projection of an impending US recession. The investment bank updated its base case scenario to reflect a 0.5 percent GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the probability of a recession now reduced to 45 percent.
