  • Reddit ( RDDT) stock fell 5.2% after the social media platform topped fourth-quarter revenue and earnings expectations but came up short on user numbers.

The article from Kiplinger discusses the stock market's reaction to the U.S. government's decision to delay tariffs on some Chinese imports, which was set to take effect on October 1, 2023.

The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite all saw gains, with the Dow jumping nearly 400 points. This news alleviated some concerns about inflation and consumer spending, particularly during the holiday season. Additionally, the article touches on other market influences like a drop in Treasury yields, a slight increase in oil prices, and comments from Federal Reserve officials suggesting a potential pause in rate hikes, all contributing to the day's market optimism.
