(DCNF)—CNN reporter Vanessa Yurkevich and “CNN News Central” host Boris Sanchez expressed shock Wednesday at the “remarkable” turnaround on Wall Street as stocks neared a record-high close.
The Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) closed down .02 points to finish at 6092.16, approaching its previous record-high close from February. Yurkevich told Sanchez one Wall Street strategist said the recovery following Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs in the S&P took “half the time” recoveries usually take.
“We‘ve been watching the S&P very closely all day as it has been flirting with a new record, the last one set back in February,” Yurkevich said. “But it is remarkable because at the low of the S&P it had shed $9.8 trillion in April, almost entering bear market territory and it’s nearly now recovered all of its losses, and just look at the markets. You see the Dow [Jones Industrial Average], the S&P and the NASDAQ on your screen.”
The Dow closed down 106.59 points to finish at 42,982.43, while the NASDAQ closed up 61.02 points at 19,973.55.
“That dramatic V-shaped drop and then recovery, I was talking to a chief investment strategist, Sam Stovall of CFRA, who told me that usually it takes about four months for markets to enter the low and then another four months for a recovery to get back to even,” Yurkevich said. “That happened in half the time, so it really is remarkable and essentially investors, what they have seen is that after the 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs and after the tariff rates on China were reduced from 145% to 30%, they really believe that the fear of a recession was taken off the table, and that maybe some of these tariffs had more bark than bite.”
“And also, Boris, just recently, the conflict in the Middle East between Iran and Israel” Yurkevich continued. “Well, what happened over the weekend was that the U.S. took out nuclear sites in Iran and so Wall Street woke up Monday morning and they were relieved, investors were relieved, so you saw a little bit of a relief rally happening today. But we’re watching down to the last minute to see if the S&P will hit a new record today, Boris.”
Trump announced the pause on reciprocal tariffs via an April 9 post on Truth Social that also announced substantial increases on tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States. Trump later announced a reduction on tariffs on Chinese goods after negotiations in Geneva.
The United States struck facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan related to Iran’s effort to develop nuclear weapons early Sunday morning local time, using as many as 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators in the operation, which involved a 37-hour flight by seven B-2A Spirit bombers. The United States brokered a ceasefire Monday between Israel and Iran after Israel launched a military operation targeting the Iranian nuclear program on June 12, striking nuclear facilities and targeting the theocratic regime’s top nuclear scientists and military commanders.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
