Dow jumps more than 250 points on US-China trade truce, Miners and autos surge 4% as European stocks rally
U.S. stocks rose on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to a 90-day cease-fire in the trade war that has weighed heavily on global stock markets for most of 2018. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 287 points while the S&P 500 gained 1.1 percent. The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.5 percent. The consumer discretionary sector in the S&P 500 was the best performer, rising 2.5 percent. Amazon and Apple rose 4.9 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively.
European stocks rallied Monday morning, after President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping negotiated a temporary truce to their trade conflict over the weekend. The pan-European Stoxx 600 was up more than 1.6 percent during mid-morning deals, with almost all sectors in positive territory. Germany's DAX index led the gains among the major bourses, surging around 2.5 percent Monday morning.
Europe's basic resources stocks — with their heavy exposure to China — jumped almost 5 percent as investors reacted to a cease-fire on tariffs between Washington and Beijing. Antofagsta, Glencore and Anglo American were all trading more than 6 percent higher on the news.
Meanwhile, autos stocks rose over 4 percent higher Monday morning. The sector has suffered significant losses year-to-date amid heightened fears of tariffs and slowing growth in car sales.

Faurecia, Valeo and Daimler were the top performers, all trading more than 7 percent higher.
