Since 1950 the S&P 500 has achieved its 2025 losses only three times (1982, 2009, 2020) after experiencing a significant intrayear decline according to Dow Jones Market Data. The index rose 0.8% on Tuesday while approaching its February peak by 4.1%. The Dow experienced a 0.4% decline while remaining half a percentage point away from breakeven and the Nasdaq 100 recovered through tech and semiconductor market gains. The Nasdaq Composite remains 2% below its initial 2025 value. According to Carson Group’s Ryan Detrick the market will experience its fourth historic recovery because of the 3.3% S&P 500 increase following the truce announcement. The market received a boost from April’s inflation decrease to 2.3% yet experts predict price increases will emerge due to tariffs during summer. Major purchases have been delayed by 60% of consumers according to the lowest consumer sentiment reading in 44 years. The market rally receives support from Trump’s tariff rollbacks including his UK deal yet businesses face rising costs and ongoing negotiations which test the market’s stability.
