A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after investor fears eased as President Trump softened his tone regarding trade relations with China. Following a sharp selloff late last week fueled by threats of an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods, the president's more conciliatory weekend message that "it will all be fine" sparked a broad market rally.

The reversal in tone helped these stocks recover a substantial portion of their recent losses as investors bought back into the sector, relieved that trade tensions might not escalate further.
