Dow Jones Today: DJIA Soars as Trump-Xi Talks Fuel Wall Street’s Bullish Frenzy
Wall Street's optimism hits fever pitch as political diplomacy meets market momentum.
The Trump-Xi Effect
When two economic heavyweights start talking, markets listen—and today they're screaming bullish. The Dow Jones Industrial Average isn't just climbing; it's charging ahead on pure political adrenaline. Forget fundamentals—apparently all you need is a presidential phone call to send traders into euphoria.
Rally Mode Activated
The DJIA's surge proves yet again that Wall Street runs on hope and headlines. Institutional money floods in, retail investors pile on, and everyone pretends they saw this coming. Because nothing says stable investing like banking on geopolitical conversations between unpredictable leaders.
Another day, another market moving on whispers and wishes—because who needs solid economic data when you've got speculative momentum?

Morgan Stanley’s Mike Wilson believes that any near-term weakness in the market should be viewed as a buying opportunity, and he expressed confidence in consumer discretionary, healthcare, financials, industrial, and small-cap stocks.
“The weakness under the hood is a sign that we’re closer to the end of this correction, than the beginning,” wrote Wilson.
HSBC added that the bull market will likely continue, whether or not stocks are in a bubble. The firm also expects AI to benefit other sectors outside of technology. Furthermore, Deutsche Bank expects AI to benefit U.S. economic growth and productivity in 2026.
In other news, Chinese state media publication Xinhua reported that President TRUMP spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the phone this morning. The two leaders met in Busan, South Korea, earlier this month and reached a trade agreement that includes the U.S. lowering its tariff on imported Chinese goods to 47% from 57% and China increasing purchases of U.S. soybeans and limiting rare earth export restrictions.
“Since the Busan meeting, China-US relations have generally remained stable and improved, which has been widely welcomed by both countries and the international community,” Xinhua said.
The call comes amid reports that Trump is considering green-lighting shipments of advanced Nvidia (NVDA) H200 AI chips to China.
