Wall Street Recovers: Apple Rallies 6% On $100-Billion Gov Manufacturing Investment: What's Moving Markets Wednesday?

Listen to the news

U.S. stocks rebounded sharply on Wednesday, fully erasing last Friday's losses, as upbeat corporate earnings and renewed investor optimism outweighed concerns over escalating trade tensions.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) led the charge among mega-cap names, jumping nearly 6% after the White House unveiled a new $100 billion manufacturing investment plan aimed at boosting domestic production.

The move is seen by investors as a possible signal toward a more favorable tariff environment for Apple, even as President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports in response to the country's continued purchases of Russian oil. This brings the overall tariff rate on Indian goods to 50%.

With no significant economic data released during the session, market focus remained firmly on corporate earnings and forward guidance.

The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to 6,345, reclaiming levels from before last week's disappointing July jobs report.

The Nasdaq 100 outperformed, climbing 1.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged slightly, gaining 0.3%.

Small caps took a breather, falling 0.4% after two positive closes.

Crude oil saw choppy action, briefly falling to $64.60 per barrel before rebounding on news that the U.S. will implement fresh sanctions on Russia this Friday. Gold and silver were little changed at $3,376 and $37.80 per ounce, respectively.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) rose 0.8%, trading above $115,000.
