Stocks surge as trade war put 'on hold'

Stocks take off as the free traders in the White House prevail, for now. Plus, Consumer Reports dings Tesla. Is it a huge blow or just another temporary roadblock for Musk and his Model 3? And, Netflix splashes out for the Obamas. Is it a smart move or too political for tech’s streamer-in-chief? Plus, Verizon’s head honcho Lowell McAdam is here, and he’s talking 5G, content, and what’s next for telecom. Catch The Final Round at 3:55 ET p.m. with Jen Rogers and Yahoo Finance markets correspondent Myles Udland and Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer.
