U.S. Stock Market Set for Strong Rebound – Monday, May 12, 2025
Markets are gearing up for a solid recovery today, fueled by optimism around renewed U.S.-China trade negotiations. Futures show a bullish start:
S&P 500: Futures up 1.15%, eyeing a breakout above 5,700.
Dow Jones: Futures rising 401 points (+0.97%).
Nasdaq: Futures climbing 1.45%.
The rally is driven by reports of “substantial progress” in trade talks held in Switzerland. President Trump called it a “total reset,” with both nations committing to continued dialogue and a new consultation mechanism. Although no tariff changes have been finalized, the positive momentum is lifting investor confidence.
Adding to the upbeat sentiment are major geopolitical developments, including a ceasefire between India and Pakistan and upcoming peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
Investors are also closely watching this week’s key economic releases—CPI, PPI, retail sales, and consumer sentiment—along with speeches from Fed officials like Chair Powell, which may shape the economic outlook.
Despite the rally, the S&P 500 continues to face resistance at the 5,700 level. Sustained gains will depend on further trade progress and economic data.
