Shares of retail and apparel companies jumped Monday, part of a broader market rally following a de-escalation in the trade war between the U.S. and China. The agreement came faster than expected and eased tariffs more than Wall Street had anticipated, fueling optimism that consumers and businesses alike will have more stable conditions to work around.

The U.S. and China agreed to dramatically scale back sky-high tariffs on each other's goods. After weekend talks in Geneva, the countries said Monday that President Trump's "reciprocal" tariff on China would be slashed to 10% from 125% and that the reductions would last for 90 days while negotiations are ongoing.
