We've seen rises of around 1% on the main indices.

Let's talk to Fiona Sincotta, who's a senior analyst at Stonex.

Hi, Fiona.

Hello.

Thanks for being with us on Marketplace.

So talk us through how the markets in Europe have responded after what we heard yesterday.

Yeah, and I mean, obviously follows the drops when he threatened the tariffs.

Why do markets react so much to comments from President Trump, given that so many times now, we've seen him make threats and then row back again?

Do you think that drop and rise will become a smaller thing the more this goes on?

OK, thanks so much for joining us on Marketplace, Fiona.

Let's do the numbers now.

And as Fiona mentioned, those safe havens have been doing well.

Platinum hit a record high of just over $2,500 per ounce.

Gold's up at $4,800 now with the latest forecast from Goldman Sachs, a target of $5,400 by the end of the year.

And the Chinese carmaker Geely, which owns Volvo, says it's targeting global sales of more than 6.5 million vehicles by 2030 with revenue of $143 billion.

You might think of corporate bonds as relatively modern, but companies have actually been issuing them since at least the 17th century.

The BBC's Rob Young's been taking a look at one of the oldest bonds still in existence.

That's Geert Roenhorst ending that report from the BBC's Rob Young.

Thanks for listening today.
