On Wednesday, the stock market had one of its best days ever on record following President Donald Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs for most nations while increasing tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%.

On April 9, 2025 , the stock market had one of its best days ever on record following President Donald Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs for most nations, while increasing tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%.

FLASHBACK: Remember my April 6th article Bear Market Inevitable? How To Trade It! where I mentioned that if the SPX dropped another 3% into bear market territory, I’d be buying the dip on select names?
