US Stock Futures Surge as Trade Deal Boosts Tech and Energy Stocks

U.S. stock futures soared Monday after the White House and Chinese officials reached a trade agreement, easing tensions between the world's two largest economies and fueling optimism across key sectors.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) jumped 6.5% following the deal and a report from The Wall Street Journal indicating the tech giant may raise iPhone prices without directly attributing it to tariffs. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) surged 7.6%, driven by its reliance on Chinese supply chains and the improved trade outlook.

Chinese stocks also gained significantly. Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), JD.com (NASDAQ:JD), and Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) all traded sharply higher, reflecting investor confidence in renewed U.S.-China cooperation.

Energy stocks rose alongside oil prices. Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) climbed about 2%, boosted by expectations of increased demand from the world’s top two oil consumers.

On the downside, pharmaceutical stocks slipped after President Donald Trump announced plans to slash prescription drug prices by 59%, though details remain unclear. Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) all declined over 2%. Additionally, Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) fell 3% after Eli Lilly’s Zepbound outperformed Wegovy in a weight-loss drug trial.

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) gained 2.8% following a DA Davidson analyst note suggesting that breaking up the Google parent company could unlock significant shareholder value.

Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY) rose 3.7% after the EV maker posted a narrowed quarterly loss, signaling progress in cost-cutting and premium model sales. Monday.Com (NASDAQ:MNDY) rallied 5.9% after surpassing first-quarter earnings estimates and offering upbeat full-year guidance.

Overall, the market welcomed the trade truce, with tech, energy, and select growth stocks leading the rally.
