Stocks rallied Friday, clawing back some of the steep losses seen this week, as investors got a reprieve from tariff-related headlines.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average
traded 577 points higher, or 1.4%. The S&P 500
climbed 1.8%, and the Nasdaq Composite
advanced 2.2%.

Big tech shares that were rattled earlier this week saw a sharp recovery on Friday. Nvidia shares popped more than 4%. Tesla and Meta Platforms gained more than 1% along with Netflix, Amazon and Apple.

Stocks bounced after a lack of new headlines out of the White House related to tariffs, easing concerns around escalating tensions for the time being. Investors might also be scooping up shares after a stock market pullback on Thursday.

A 1.4% drop on Thursday dragged the S&P 500 down 10.1% from its record close notched last month, just 16 trading days ago, bringing it officially into a correction. This is defined as a decline of at least 10% from a recent high. The 30-stock Dow and Nasdaq slid 1.3% and about 2%, respectively, in the session.

2. Oh, give it a day. S&P still down 8% for the month, and we're nowhere near the bottom of where this

will end up. We've barely begun.

7. Yup, this is just expressing relief there won't be an immediate shutdown.

But things are only going to get worse. The lunatic is not letting go of his obsession with tariffs, decimating our government, and taking over Canada, Greenland and Panama. If ever we needed the 25th Amendment invoked, now is it.

Stupid representatives give the "keys to the kingdom over to Musk and Trump.

5. President Musk out spouting more NAZI shit gets the stock market reved up?

One sick ass country to put up with that POS NAZI for a minute.

6. Good luck with that

volatility with a generally downward trend is here to stay as long as there's daily whiplash coming out of the white house. Companies are pulling back on many investments so they can conserve cash. Prices are going up from tariffs. Excess purchases in anticipation of tariffs also raises prices.

I would look at relatively safer investments. Although it's possible Trump will default on Treasury bonds too for the first time ever. He might inspire bank runs if Musk thinks America will be more efficient without FDIC.
