04-13

Amid major market volatility, ASX 200 tech shares outshone their peers last week, rising 6.64% over five topsy-turvy trading days.

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) started the week with a 4.23% dive on Monday as the fallout from US reciprocal tariffs continued.

The ASX 200 recovered by 2.27% on Tuesday, then gave back 1.8% on Wednesday.

On Thursday, we saw a phenomenal rebound, with the ASX 200 rising 4.54% after a 90-day reprieve was given to every nation bar China.

Over the next three months, US trading partners will be subject to the baseline 10% tariff rather than the much higher individualised tariffs.

The market softened again on Friday, declining 0.82%.

The wash-up after all those fluctuations?

A minor 0.28% fall over the week, with the ASX 200 closing at 7,646.5 points on Friday.

Yep, after all that upheaval, the ASX 200 pretty much returned to where it began the week.

Some investors loved the volatility last week, with plenty taking the opportunity to buy the dip.
