Stock Market Soars On U.S.-China Tariff Thaw -- Sparking Almost $700 Billion Big Tech Rally

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Trump began to loosen his tariff belt April 9 when he paused much of the most severe duties for 90 days, though he didn't show much leeway on Chinese levies until last week, when he floated an 80% tariff on Chinese goods, nearly three times as severe as the rate announced Monday.
51% : Trump campaigned on raising tariffs and targeted Canada, China and Mexico with country-specific actions in his first two months, but the country-by-country tariffs he laid out during his April 2 "Liberation Day" event were far more hawkish than Wall Street anticipated.
