Stock futures bounced on Tuesday in a slight reprieve from the market turmoil sparked by President Donald Trump’s tariff rollout that led to the biggest equity losses since the pandemic.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rebounded 803 points, or 2.1%. Futures tied to the S&P 500 were up around 1.6%, while Nasdaq-100 futures gained about 1.4%.
The moves come after three days of steep losses and violent volatility. Monday marked the highest trading volume for U.S. markets in at least 18 years at roughly 29 billion shares. The 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 1,700 points at one point in the session. Between the day’s highs and lows, the index swung 2,595 points. The blue-chip index ultimately closed 349 points, or 0.9%, lower.
The S&P 500 briefly entered bear market territory at the lows of Monday’s session, down more than 20% from its record, before rebounding slightly and finishing the session slightly lower. The benchmark lost 10% in two days to end last week, its worst losses since 2020 during the outbreak of Covid, as investors fear Trump’s shockingly high tariff rates on most of the world will lead to a recession.
There was little fundamental reason apparent for the bounce Tuesday with more dire trade news overnight. China said it will “fight to the end” after Trump said Monday the U.S. would slap an additional 50% tariff on China if the country follows through with its 34% retaliation.

CNBC and Jim Cramer hardest hit...............
Lots of buying opportunities!
Remember the old scales where the needle fluctuated left and right until slowly settling on the final number? That’s how I see big changes in the market.
lots of crying turned elsewhere, on to the next sky is falling
In trading circles, this is known as a ‘dead cat bounce’.
I don’t expect a sustained rise in the stock market for several months. It may take several interest rate cuts by the Fed. JMO.
This was an organized manipulation to pressure the Trump admin because these countries and Wall Street make more money from the status quo, and devil take the workers.
A gloBULList Free Traitor™ talking down the market? Wow, never expected that.
this
My contention is that globalists and Free Traitors™ aren’t just wrong but in fact they are evil in every way.
Stock holders need time to cash out of foreign stocks, reconcile their accounts, then buy American stocks.
Anyone who doesn’t understand that is either not in stocks or lying.
CNBC and anyone, can see the Dow Futures before the actual Tuesday markets open. The Dow Futures are up 1000 right now. So the markets will open up in 25 minutes at about 1000
The Wall Street Bungee Jumpers have lost their minds.
How does CNBC know it is only a “reprieve”? Are they implying that later today the market will tank?
Remember folks, the climb is harder than the drop.
The general formula to determine the percentage increase required for an asset to recover its original value after a percentage decrease is:
Required increase (%) to recover = (Percentage decrease (%)/ (100 - Percentage decrease (%) ) ) × 100
For example, if the stock price drops by 20%, plug the values into the formula:
Required increase (%) to recover = (20/( 100 − 20 ) ) x 100 = 25
Which is to say, if a stock’s value drops by 20%, it will take a 25% increase to return to its price before the drop.
The percentage recovery is calculated relative to the reduced value, not the original value. We got a long way to go…
Why according to the media the Dow should be at 200 by weeks end and another Great Depression starting by next week.
