# A tariff reprieve, bond yields, and Nvidia earnings: What investors are watching as stocks rise

> Stocks surged at the start of the week, driven by President Trump's announcement to delay tariffs on the EU until July 9 and lower bond yields. The Dow Jones rose over 500 points, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also seeing gains. Investors are particularly focused on Nvidia's upcoming earnings report. Additionally, long-dated bond yields fell, indicating reduced anxiety in the bond market, influenced by potential changes in Japan's debt issuance plans.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump said he would delay tariffs on goods from the European Union to July 9 after Ursula von Leyen, the European Commission president, asked him to do so. Last week, the president called for 50% tariffs on the EU to start on June 1.

Markets have been rocked by trade chaos for much of this year, with stocks whipsawing on the president's plans to implement or delay duties on imports.

Stocks jumped after the president announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs in April, and have churned higher on recent trade deal frameworks hammered out with China and other countries.

Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to reiterate the administration's progress on trade deals and to proclaim that the US was entering a "golden age."

"Countries from all over the World want to make TRADE DEALS with us. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO SEE," he wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Long-dated bond yields dropped on Tuesday, a sign that investors in the bond market are feeling less anxious than they were last week, as traders eyed Trump's tax bill moving through Congress and digested Moody's downgrade of US debt.

Importantly, Japan signaled possible changes to its plans for debt issuance that could mean less potential pressure on US yields. Bloomberg reported that the country's finance ministry was seeking comment from the market on the amount of debt issuance that it would be appropriate. Lower debt issuance could drive yields back down on Japanese bonds, and could cause domestic investors to return to US Treasurys.
