Dow futures jump nearly 400 points as markets eye another serving of the TACO trade after Trump says 'Don't worry about

China’

Investors are eyeing a stock market rebound after Friday’s trade war flare-up sent the S&P 500 to its worst loss since April.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump sought to calm nerves in a post on Truth Social, following his announcement on Friday that he will impose an additional 100% tariff on China and limit U.S. exports of software.

“Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine!” he wrote. “Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!”

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures that the U.S. is willing to be reasonable if China is too, though he insisted Trump has the upper hand with “far more cards” than Beijing holds.

So they're hoping Trump chickens out.

In October 2025, Trump called China’s rare earth export controls "sinister and hostile," accused China of trying to "hold the world captive," and threatened massive new tariffs. He mentioned that he had "no reason" to meet Xi Jinping and called China's actions a "moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations."


All aboard the TACO Train!!!
