Fidelity users report technical issues trying to check their accounts after U.S.-China trade deal sends stocks surging
As the stock market jumped Monday on news that the U.S. and China have reached a preliminary trade agreement, pausing reciprocal tariffs of as high as 145% for 90 days, popular brokerage Fidelity suffered widespread technical issues as traders flooded its app and website to check their portfolios. The technical issues kept some users from logging in to their accounts as trading opened on Monday, and many people took to social-media platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice their concerns. My husband and I spend more money on our daughter and her family than on my single son. Do we compensate him? The bulls are back in town. Goldman and this Wall Street optimist are lifting their S&P 500 targets on tariff relief. 'Be vigilant with your finances': My IRA had an unknown beneficiary designation. How could this happen? 'I am scared to death that I'll run out of money': My wife and I are in our 50s and have $4.4 million. Can we retire early? 'It just doesn't seem right': My sister picks up the check for our parents, but later asks me to repay her 'You guys lost me as a customer today,' one X user posted about the issues with his Fidelity account. There were thousands of reports of issues by Fidelity users on Monday, according to data from a website that tracks online service issues. And Google searches for 'is Fidelity down' spiked on Monday morning through the early afternoon, along with related queries about having issues logging in. 'We are aware that some customers are experiencing issues with Active Trader Pro (ATP), and our mobile apps,' Fidelity said in a statement. 'We are working urgently on resolving the issues. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate you being a customer.' See: Cooling U.S.-China trade tensions don't mean smooth sailing for U.S. economy Other financial-services companies who operate brokerages, however, didn't appear to be experiencing similar issues. Representatives from Interactive Brokers IBKR, Charles Schwab SCHW and Robinhood HOOD all told MarketWatch that their systems were operating normally on Monday, despite some scattered complaints on social media. The rallies in the equities market as well as the dollar that have followed the de-escalation of the U.S.-China trade war could be viewed as a sign that investors are becoming more confident and bullish in the near term, and many people were eager to check their financial portfolios on Monday. 'A trade deal with China is a big deal, don't underestimate it,' Gina Bolvin, President of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, told MarketWatch. 'It matters because trade affects earnings and sentiment.' 'We've gone from pulling guidance to giving a range of guidance and now more optimism for earnings clarity,' she added. 'Don't underestimate consumer sentiment, which is 70% of the economy, and let's not forget there's $7 trillion of cash on the sidelines.' Another expert noted that while the latest pause is a good sign, its important to manage expectations. 'There is still work to be done to reach a formal [U.S.-China] agreement and deterioration could happen,' Daniela Sabin Hathorn, senior market analyst at international trading platform wrote to MarketWatch in a statement. 'Markets seem to be aware of this as the equities have come off their highs a bit after the initial reaction. It is likely that more positive sentiment drives the momentum higher once the U.S. traders come online, but some caution may remain despite the optimism.' The S&P 500 SPX rose to 3.13% as of Monday afternoon, the Dow Jones Industrial Index DJIA was up 2.73% and the Nasdaq COMP is on track to exit bear-market territory following the announcement of the trade agreement. The pause to reciprocal tariffs will expire in three months, and the current 10% flat tariff on China will remain, as well as an additional 20% levy to combat fentanyl smuggling, according to the White House. Watch: How to pick dividend stocks positioned to keep growing dividends My eldest son refused to share his father's $500K inheritance with his siblings. Should I cut him off? My friend's partner is pregnant, but she's married to another man. Is he financially responsible? 'We live modestly': My wife and I have $900K in stocks and $380K in savings and CDs. Are we holding too much cash? Gold skids more than 3% on tariff relief. Is it time to sell? The bull market has survived Trump's tariff onslaught. But stocks aren't out of the woods just yet.
