Major U.S. stocks including Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, and FTAI Aviation rallied on Tuesday afternoon as investor sentiment improved amid growing optimism that the U.S.-China trade standoff may soon ease.
What’s Driving the Market?
The gains followed comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who described the ongoing trade war as “unsustainable” and noted that a resolution between the world’s two largest economies “was possible.” His remarks raised hopes for reduced tariffs and increased market stability, sparking a broad uptick in equity prices.
Stock Highlights:
Several prominent companies saw significant share price increases as a result:
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN): Rose 4.9%
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX): Gained 7.6%
FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI): Increased 5.4%
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA): Climbed 6.1%
Spotlight: Netflix’s Surge
Netflix’s 7.6% gain stands out, especially given the stock’s historically low volatility—only five moves greater than 5% have occurred over the past year. The latest jump suggests that investors view the trade news as meaningful, even if it may not fundamentally alter Netflix’s long-term outlook.
Just a week earlier, Netflix shares rose 5.9% after The Wall Street Journal reported the company’s ambitious plan to reach a $1 trillion market valuation by 2030. In its annual shareholder letter, Netflix outlined a roadmap to double revenue from $39 billion to $80 billion and triple operating income from $10 billion, driven by global expansion, content monetization, and operational efficiencies.
With shares currently trading at $1,040—near their 52-week high of $1,059—Netflix is up 17.4% year-to-date. A $1,000 investment in the company five years ago would now be worth approximately $2,469.

Investor Insight
This rally underscores how macroeconomic developments can influence short-term market movements, creating potential entry points for long-term investors. However, it’s essential to assess each company on its fundamentals before making investment decisions.
Looking Ahead
As discussions between the U.S. and China continue, markets will be closely watching for any concrete developments. In the meantime, analysts recommend keeping an eye on quality growth stocks with exposure to global trends such as AI, digital content, and electric vehicles.
