U.S. equities staged a broad rebound on Monday, with the S&P 500 climbing 1.45% to 6,328.32—its strongest session since late May. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.94% to 21,051.16 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.33% to 44,169.15, recouping much of Friday’s tariff- and jobs-driven slide. Investors piled back into risk assets after a weaker-than-expected July payrolls report prompted a swift repricing of monetary-policy expectations. Futures tied to the federal-funds rate now imply an 84-85% chance the Federal Reserve will deliver a quarter-point cut at its September meeting, sending volatility gauges lower and supporting dip-buying across asset classes. Gains were widespread: roughly 85% of S&P 500 constituents finished higher and the small-cap-heavy Russell 2000 rose 2.2%. Technology megacaps led the charge, with Nvidia up 3.6% and Meta Platforms up 3.5%, while renewed interest in precious metals pushed the GDX gold-miner ETF up 3.9%. Analysts said the combination of cheaper-valued shares after last week’s sell-off, stronger-than-forecast corporate earnings and the prospect of easier policy fueled the rally. With earnings for S&P 500 companies tracking about 9% growth so far this season, traders will watch incoming economic releases and additional profit reports to gauge whether Monday’s bounce can be sustained.
