Dell Technologies (NYSE: $DELL) Stock Gains on Tariff ReliefDell Technologies Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:DELL ) rose sharply on Monday following the Trump administration’s temporary suspension of tariffs on smartphones, computers, and other electronics. The updated guidance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection late Friday excluded these items from the latest round of reciprocal tariffs, which had raised concerns among tech manufacturers.
Dell shares gained 4%, closing at $85.19, up $3.26 on the day, with a trading volume of 12.35 million shares. The stock had opened at $89.29 and reached a low of $84.01 during the session. The tariff pause, though potentially temporary, has eased pressure on companies that heavily rely on global supply chains. Dell, which produces most of its hardware outside the United States, stands to benefit significantly from the exemption.
JPMorgan analysts commented that the exemption highlights the strategic importance of electronics to American consumers and the economic weight of companies like Dell and Apple. While Apple is accelerating its manufacturing diversification into countries like India and Vietnam, Dell continues to leverage international production capacity to maintain its competitiveness.
Technical Analysis
From a technical perspective, DELL is currently trading within a descending channel that started from its all-time high of $179.70. The recent bounce from a support zone indicates potential short-term support. The price action suggests two likely scenarios: a continued climb toward the upper boundary of the channel near $110, or a pullback to test lower levels around $42, aligned with the bottom of the channel.
The 200-day moving average (86.18) and 100-day (116.72)currently sit above the price, indicating a bearish medium-term trend. However, if DELL holds support around $85.11 and gains momentum, it could challenge the mid-channel resistance and eventually attempt a breakout.
