Video game and technology stocks jump on Trump’s latest reversal of tariffs

In an unexpected shift, the Trump administration has decided to temporarily halt the impact of its newly implemented tariffs for a period of 90 days. This means that many of America’s trade partners will likely return to a standard 10% tariff during the negotiations and deal-making process in the coming months. However, it’s important to note that China is an exception to this rule; instead of reverting to the old rates, tariffs on Chinese goods will increase to 125%. Despite this ongoing economic pressure, tech and gaming stocks have shown signs of recovery following this decision.

Trump has declared a 90-day halt on the tariffs, as reported by CNBC and the White House’s social media platforms. Starting right away, the rate for tariffs on goods imported from most global trading partners will be uniformly set at 10%, except for China, which is subjected to a 125% tariff. This move has led to an increase in the stock prices of numerous tech and video game companies due to this announcement.
