##### Analysis of the Claim

**Claim**: Verbal interventions by Trump on the last day of March were extremely successful for American stock market indices

**Research Findings**:

- **No evidence of specific "verbal interventions" by Trump on March 31, 2025**: I found no records of significant Trump comments or interventions on that specific date that caused market movements[^7][^2][^3]. The market activity that day was driven by anticipation of Trump's upcoming "Liberation Day" tariff announcement scheduled for April 2, not by any verbal intervention from Trump himself.

- **Market performance on March 31, 2025 was mixed, not "extremely successful"**:
  
  - The S\&P 500 rose only 0.6% after being down as much as 1.7% earlier in the day[^3][^2]
  - The Dow Jones rose 1% (417.86 points)[^7][^2]
  - The Nasdaq **fell** 0.1% to 0.14%[^2][^7]
  - The Russell 2000 fell 0.6%[^2]

- **March 31 marked the worst quarter for markets since 2022**: The S\&P 500 ended Q1 2025 down 4.6%, its worst quarterly performance in two and a half years[^2][^4]. The Nasdaq was down 10.4% for the year, and the Russell 2000 down 9.8%[^2].

- **The historic rally occurred on April 9, not March 31**: The "extremely successful" market response the claim describes actually happened on **April 9, 2025**, when Trump announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs. That day the S\&P 500 surged 9.52% (its best day since 2008), the Dow rose 7.87%, and the Nasdaq jumped 12.16%[^5][^6][^1].

- **Markets were volatile due to tariff uncertainty**: March 31 was characterized as a "roller-coaster" day with "neck-twisting turns" due to uncertainty about impending tariffs[^3]. The modest recovery came after early losses, not because of any Trump intervention.

**Conclusion**: The claim appears to conflate the modest, mixed market performance on March 31, 2025 with the historic rally that occurred on April 9, 2025. There is no evidence of successful "verbal interventions" by Trump on March 31.

**Overall validity**: 15%

### 2. 1.75 trillion dollars were added to the American stock market at the end of the trading session on the last day of March — 90%

Model: Kimi K2.5 · Checked on: 07/04/2026 · Detail: /claim/z65nfJoi42XrRNM9dzo3

Based on my research, I found multiple sources confirming this claim.

**Reasoning:**

- Multiple financial news sources confirm the U.S. stock market had a significant rally on Tuesday, March 31, 2026[^1][^3][^2].
- The rally added $1.75 trillion in market value in a single session, representing one of the strongest days of 2026[^1].
- The S\&P 500 gained 2.91% (184.80 points to 6,528.52), the Nasdaq surged 3.83% (795.99 points to 21,590.63), and the Dow jumped 2.5% (1,125 points to 46,341.51) on that day[^3][^2].
- The rally was driven by reduced Middle East war fears and was described as a "relief rally" that snapped a five-week losing streak[^2].
- The rally recouped more than half of the $4 trillion in market capitalization that had been wiped out earlier in March[^1].
