Stocks opened sharply higher Monday after the U.S. and China announced a temporary break from triple-digit tariffs that had brought much of the trade between the two countries to a standstill in recent weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared more than 1,000 points, or around 2.5%, shortly after the opening bell, while the S&P 500 index gained 2.6%. The surge in stocks come after the two countries agreed to slash the crippling tariffs for 90 days following talks in Geneva over the weekend.
