[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 stocks had some fun last week as investors reconsidered the likely impact of Donald Trump’s trade tariffs. Two in particular led the charge. The Howden Joinery Group (LSE: HWDN) share price jumped an impressive 9.77%. However, it’s still down almost 8% over 12 months, after a tough 2024. Howden sells kitchens, joinery and hardware to tradesmen, so it’s been hit by the slowdown in the UK economy and housing market. How has it done it? Last week’s rally was fuelled by a positive update on 29 April. Trading was in line with expectations,…
