[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Oxford Nanopore Technologies (LSE:ONT) is an exciting FTSE 250 stock and is massively undervalued according to analysts. However, despite its groundbreaking technology and recent collaborations, the stock has slumped. Unlike many of its peers, the slump actually has very little to do with Donald Trump’s tariffs. A DNA pioneer For those unfamiliar, Oxford Nanopore is a pioneer in third-generation DNA sequencing technology. The company’s devices use nanopores — these are tiny protein-based structures — to sequence DNA or RNA in real time by detecting electrical changes as molecules pass through these pores.

[ad_1] For a brief, shining moment Wednesday, it looked as though some semblance of sanity had crept into Donald Trump’s trade war.Trump abruptly reversed course on the “reciprocal” tariffs he had begun to impose on scores of America’s leading trading partners and other countries. He dictated a 90-day pause in those tariffs, while simultaneously raising tariffs on Chinese goods to 125% — effectively shutting off the flow in bilateral trade.The stock market, which had been in a historic swoon since Trump announced the “reciprocal” tariffs on April 2, turned on a dime, registering one of its sharpest one-day gains in…

In this climate, it can be a good idea for investors to consider buying some classic defensive stocks. Some like Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) even have the potential to soar in value over the short term (and even beyond). Here’s why I think the gold miner’s worth serious consideration right now. Dividend boost Investing in gold mining stocks remains an attractive proposition to consider. The yellow metal’s price surge continues and it struck new highs of above $3,230 an ounce just now.…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) shares were at 812p just under one month ago. As I type (11 April), they’re priced at 676p, which means they’ve suffered a 17% haircut. Zooming out further though, the FTSE 100 stock is up 350% over the past two years. So it’s still been a massive winner. Is this dip large enough for me to consider buying more shares? Let’s find out. Heightened risks To answer this, I want to know the reason for the recent sell-off. As we know, this was tiggered by the Trump administration’s sweeping US tariffs, which…

BP shares have tumbled 15% in just a week and are down a full 35% over the past 12 months. That’s a bruising run for the FTSE 100 heavyweight. The share price spike during the Putin-fuelled energy shock of 2022 is now a fading memory. So what’s gone wrong? A lot, actually. Obviously, there’s Donald Trump.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I’m relieved by the way in which the JD Sports Fashion (LSE:JD.) share price responded to the company’s latest trading update on Wednesday (9 April). The stock jumped 10.7% after the sports and leisure retailer said that trading was in line with expectations. The next day, it increased another 6.1%, although some of this increase was probably helped by President Trump’s change in tariff policy. The ‘King of Trainers’ Unusually, the announcement was made at midday. Normally, these updates are released at 7am, before the market opens. However, for long-suffering shareholders like me, it was…
