Tesla rebounds, Treasury Secretary’s comments send 3 major indexes soaring! Market recovery signals despite IMF growth forecast cut
🌅 US Stock Market overview: “Yesterday’s plunge was today’s opportunity”
On April 22, 2025, New York stocks bounced back strongly from the previous day’s sharp decline on an influx of bargain hunters and hopes of easing geopolitical tensions. In the absence of any specific bad news, all three major indices were up around 2%, making it one of the best days for markets in a long time.
In particular, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Betsen’s off-the-record comments and Tesla’s earnings shock sent a surprising signal to investors – what was going on? *** Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ***
💡 US Stock MarketBehind the rebound: a bright spot in a ‘quiet day’
📌 The power of buying low
With the previous day’s drop being so large, there was a lot of money coming in on this day looking for a buying opportunity. The absence of further bad news also spurred buying sentiment. While markets have been sensitive to economic data in recent days, the “noiselessness” of the day was reassuring..
📌 US Treasury Secretary’s ‘China softening’ message
During an investor meeting, Treasury Secretary Scott Bentsen dropped a nuanced hint that the U.S. is in talks to reduce economic tensions with China. Add to that news of an impending common tariff agreement with India and Japan, and expectations of de-escalating global trade risks are high.
🌍 The global economic outlook was bleak, but…
In its World Economic Outlook report released today, the IMF downgraded its global growth forecast from 3.3% to 2.8%.
The US was downgraded from 2.7% to 1.8% and China from 4.5% to 3.9%, while the inflation outlook was revised upward.
Nevertheless, the market interpreted this as already priced in, and the buying spree in earnings-oriented stocks continued.
📊 Major indices and sector flows
S&P500: +2.51%
NASDAQ: +2.71%
DOW: +2.66%
Philadelphia Semiconductor Index: +2.14%
The financial sector was the strongest performer, up +3.28%, with consumer discretionary and telecommunications also outperforming.
🌐 M7 Group Bullish
Amazon, Meta, Apple: Up in the 3% range
Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet: Up around 2 percent
This translates into a mix of restored confidence in big tech growth and a recovery from the fallout from the stock market bubble.
🚗 Tesla – Earnings shock expected, but bounces back
On the day, Tesla was up 4.6% in regular trading and another 5% in after-hours trading.
What’s surprising is that the earnings announcement was not an earnings shock.
But the market had already seen that coming, and instead focused on signs of future growth, such as Tesla’s plans to launch a low-cost model and maintaining its robotaxi development schedule.
**As the saying goes, “familiarity with bad news wins the day,” and investors who focused on the future rather than the earnings miss won the day. *** Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ***.
The overall market ‘interest rate burden’ was somewhat eased, with short- and long-term interest rates mixed.
📌 Dollar Index
After back-to-back losses, the dollar index gained +1.07%, regaining the 99-point line.
This is interpreted as a reaffirmation of the strength of the US economic fundamentals.
📌 Commodity prices
WTI Oil Price: +1.95
Gold futures: -0.16% ($3,400.8 per ounce)
Gold prices corrected as risk appetite returned, while oil prices rose in tandem with expectations of a reduction in geopolitical risk.
📌 Final analysis: Is the US Stock Marketrebound sustainable??
Is this market bounce a one-off or the start of a recovery?
While there was no definitive trigger, it’s worth noting that investor sentiment has recovered in the calm after the noise.
The shift to focusing on future growth rather than earnings, especially for companies like Tesla, could signal a shift in investing style toward tech stocks going forward.
However, as the IMF warns, the potential for slower growth and prolonged inflation in the global economy is still a factor in the market. *** Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ***
