Dow jumps 300 points as Wall Street rebounds from worst day of the year; European stocks close lower after China strengthens currency, easing trade retaliation

Stocks rebounded on Tuesday from their worst day of the year after China’s central bank indicated it plans to keep its currency at a level stronger than some investors had first feared, easing tensions about the nation using the yuan as a weapon in the trade war.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 311.78 points higher at 26,029.52. The S&P 500 rose 1.3% to 2,881.77, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed nearly 1.4% to 7,833.27. Tuesday’s gains helped the Dow snap a five-day losing streak, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose for the first time in seven sessions.
European stocks closed lower on Tuesday after China’s central bank set the yuan’s official reference point at a stronger than expected level, easing its retaliation to U.S. tariffs, while rejecting Washington’s designation of Beijing as a “currency manipulator.”
The pan-European Stoxx 600 was 0.4% lower during afternoon trade, with household goods stocks — which covers the China-exposed luxury sector — leading the gains. Luxury brands LVMH, Christian Dior and Hugo Boss all saw their shares cross into positive territory.
In corporate news, German postal giant Deutsche Post raised its 2019 forecast after restructuring measures and a rise in German postage and parcel prices. The group reported a rise in operating profit of 2.9% to 769 million euros ($861.55 million), surpassing the 727 million average forecasts from analysts polled by Reuters. Deutsche Post stock traded 3.5% higher midway through the afternoon session.
