				Stocks rallied worldwide after President Donald Trump relaxed 
				some of his tariffs and as stress from within the U.S. bond 
				market seemed to ease.
 The S&P 500 rose 0.8% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average 
				also rose 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.6%.
 
 Apple and other technology stocks helped lift the market after 
				Trump temporarily exempted smartphones and other electronics 
				from some of his stiff tariffs. Ford and GM also rallied after 
				Trump said pauses for auto tariffs may be next. Perhaps more 
				importantly for Wall Street, the bond market showed signals of 
				increasing calm as Treasury yields eased.
