Stock Market Update Friday April 25, 2025
Stock Market Update Friday April 25, 2025 The week started with market uncertainty due to tariff news and concerns about Jerome Powell's position. However, easing tensions led to a strong market rally, with the S&P 500 gaining over 4%. Technology stocks performed particularly well, with NVDA up 10%. Oversold stocks like TSLA also recovered significantly, rising 16%.
On Friday, major indices continued to rise: the S&P 500 (SPX) increased by 0.7%, the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) by 1.1%, and the Russell 2000 (IWM) remained flat. The S&P 500 closed near 5500, a key level that previously acted as support during the recent market decline.
Away From Stocks: In the bond market, Treasury yields decreased, with the 10-year yield around 4.25%. The long-duration Treasury ETF (TLT) rose nearly 2% for the week. After a weak start, the U.S. Dollar recovered, with the DXY index closing just below 100. Market anxiety decreased, as shown by the VIX falling below 25 by the end of Friday.
