Pre-Announced Bounce | April 14th, 2025
Monday, 14 April, 2025
Markets staged a sharp rebound last week, with the S&P500 up 5.7% and the Nasdaq climbing 7.3%, largely fueled by President Trump’s tariff pause and social media-driven optimism.

Treasury yields surged, the Dollar fell over 3%, and gold hit record highs—signs that global investors may be losing confidence in U.S. policy stability.
