Global technology and CHIP stocks rallied on Monday after the U.S. and China agreed to impose most tariffs on each other's goods.

Technology stocks, such as semiconductor companies and smartphone manufacturers, have been hit hard as trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies threaten to disrupt supply chains and hurt some of the largest U.S. businesses.

But investors gasped during conversations between the United States and China over the weekend and paused temporarily in the "reciprocal" tariffs.
