S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are skyrocketing, up 4.66% to 7,718.9 points at the time of writing.

In earlier trading, the benchmark index hit an intraday high of 7,842.9 points, up 6.34% as investors rushed to buy the dip.

New US reciprocal tariffs have caused chaos on global markets, including the ASX, this week.

Today, we woke to news that US President Donald Trump has given the world a 90-day reprieve.

During this time, most nations will be subject to the baseline 10% tariff only rather than the much higher individualised tariffs.

The President's trademark unpredictability sparked an incredibly strong US share market rebound overnight.

Meanwhile, brokers have been busy rerating many ASX 200 shares after considering the impact of the tariffs on individual companies.

On the CommSec trading platform, consensus ratings on scores of ASX 200 shares were changed on Monday and Tuesday.

Some ASX 200 shares have been upgraded, while others have been downgraded.

Among them are many ASX 200 large-cap shares, which tend to be popular with long-term income investors.

Let's take a look.
