American indices are rebounding on Monday after a very negative end to last week. Following a series of declines and growing concerns about the economy's condition, investors are entering the new week with a slightly better mood, which translates into moderate gains for the main benchmarks - S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq. There's an attempt to recover losses, although market sentiment remains fragile.
Some tensions on Wall Street have eased after President Donald Trump softened his rhetoric towards China, suggesting the possibility of resuming constructive trade dialogue. Market participants interpreted this as a signal of potential de-escalation of tensions between the world's two largest economies. However, comments from Treasury Secretary S. Bessent had the opposite effect, stating that the prolonged government shutdown is starting to have a real impact on economic activity. The lack of significant macroeconomic data from the USA means that the market is reacting more to political factors and investor sentiment today than to hard data.
