Stocks surged on Tuesday as Wall Street increased bets on a U.S.-China trade deal after President Donald Trump said he will be meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, at the upcoming G-20 summit. Sentiment was also lifted by hope that the Fed will ease monetary policy later this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 353.01 points to 26,465.54 as 3M and Boeing outperformed. The S&P 500 climbed 1% to 2,917.75 while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.4% 7,953.88. The S&P 500 also closed 1.2% from its all-time intraday high of 2,954.13, which was reached May 1.
Boeing and Caterpillar shares, two trade bellwethers, rose 5.4% and 2.4%, respectively. Deere shares also gained more than 3%. Semiconductor stocks jumped on Trump’s tweet.
European stocks closed sharply higher on Tuesday, after ECB President Mario Draghi suggested in a speech that the central bank will provide more stimulus — either through new rate cuts or asset purchases — if inflation does not pick up.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 recovered from an early drop to end the session 1.8% higher, marking a one-month high. All sectors and major bourses were in positive territory, with basic resources leading the gains and surging by almost 3%.
Looking at individual stocks, shares of German chipmaker Infineon fell 2% on Tuesday, as the company launched an accelerated capital increase to raise 1.5 billion euros ($1.68 billion) toward its planned acquisition of Cypress Semiconductor.
