Tesla shares soared nearly 23% after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for over 75 nation, excluding China, boosting investor confidence and lifting the EV giant’s market value to $852.9 billion amid a volatile trading year.
Tesla shares soared by 22.69% on Wednesday, closing at $272.20, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on newly imposed reciprocal tariffs for over 75 countries—excluding China. The electric vehicle giant’s market value climbed to $852.9 billion, marking a significant rebound following months of volatility.
The sharp rally came after Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that the temporary pause and a reduced 10% tariff rate would take immediate effect, sparking a broader surge in U.S. stock markets.
Tesla, which has suffered a 44% share price decline since December due to intensifying Chinese competition and CEO Elon Musk’s political ties, appeared to benefit most from the policy shift. Musk, whose personal net worth once peaked at $486 billion, has seen losses of over $130 billion this year alone—driven largely by Tesla’s market dip and investor concerns over his close association with Trump.
Trump's decision to maintain a harsh 125% tariff on Chinese imports while easing pressure on others has triggered mixed reactions but offered much-needed relief to U.S. based manufacturers like Tesla.
As markets digest the temporary reprieve, all eyes remain on how Tesla and global trade dynamics will evolve over the next 90 days.
