Okay, that's not true.
Donald Factor
In fact, President Trump said that the pick-up in share prices was down to just the one, crucial factor – President Trump.
In a strange mixture of Trumpy Trump and Grumpy Trump this was the latest post picked up by our Trump Dashboard.
'The Wall Street Journal ran a typically untruthful story today by saying that Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, explained to me that firing Jerome 'Too Late' Powell, the Worst Federal Reserve Chairman in History, would be bad for the Market.
Nobody had to explain that to me. I know better than anybody what's good for the Market, and what's good for the U.S.A.
If it weren't for me, the Market wouldn't be at Record Highs right now, it probably would have CRASHED! So, get your information CORRECT. People don't explain to me, I explain to them!'
If only the President had been around back in 1929, ensuring that the word did not fall into the Great Depression and the long, dark slide towards World War Two and all of its horrors.
Confidence Returns
But let's not be too cynical. Yes, a large reason behind the slump in April was down to fears over the President's tariff policies. His decision to pause or reduce some of the worst tariffs, as well as seal very favorable trade deals for the U.S. with the likes of the U.K. have also installed confidence.
Better than expected economic and inflation data and positive corporate commentary have also helped.
However, one analyst thinks that the rally – largely driven by U.S. tech may be running out of steam.
Whenever a narrow rally losses steam, it usually signals that investors are starting to look for signs of a broader rally,' said Matt Maley, of Miller Tabak & Co. 'When they don't get it, they tend to pull back for a while.'

LPKF Laser & Electronics (ETR:LPK) Is In A Strong Position To Grow Its Business
Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, although software-as-a-service business lost money for years while it grew recurring revenue, if you held shares since 2005, you'd have done very well indeed. Having said that, unprofitable companies are risky because they could potentially burn through all their cash and become distressed. Given this risk, we thought we'd take a look at whether LPKF Laser & Electronics (ETR:LPK) shareholders should be worried about its cash burn. In this report, we will consider the company's annual negative free cash flow, henceforth referring to it as the 'cash burn'. Let's start with an examination of the business' cash, relative to its cash burn. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Does LPKF Laser & Electronics Have A Long Cash Runway? A company's cash runway is the amount of time it would take to burn through its cash reserves at its current cash burn rate. When LPKF Laser & Electronics last reported its June 2025 balance sheet in July 2025, it had zero debt and cash worth €3.5m. In the last year, its cash burn was €1.4m. That means it had a cash runway of about 2.4 years as of June 2025. Notably, however, analysts think that LPKF Laser & Electronics will break even (at a free cash flow level) before then. If that happens, then the length of its cash runway, today, would become a moot point. You can see how its cash balance has changed over time in the image below. Check out our latest analysis for LPKF Laser & Electronics How Well Is LPKF Laser & Electronics Growing? Happily, LPKF Laser & Electronics is travelling in the right direction when it comes to its cash burn, which is down 83% over the last year. But it was a bit disconcerting to see operating revenue down 2.3% in that time. It seems to be growing nicely. Clearly, however, the crucial factor is whether the company will grow its business going forward. So you might want to take a peek at how much the company is expected to grow in the next few years. Can LPKF Laser & Electronics Raise More Cash Easily? We are certainly impressed with the progress LPKF Laser & Electronics has made over the last year, but it is also worth considering how costly it would be if it wanted to raise more cash to fund faster growth. Issuing new shares, or taking on debt, are the most common ways for a listed company to raise more money for its business. One of the main advantages held by publicly listed companies is that they can sell shares to investors to raise cash and fund growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate). LPKF Laser & Electronics has a market capitalisation of €202m and burnt through €1.4m last year, which is 0.7% of the company's market value. That means it could easily issue a few shares to fund more growth, and might well be in a position to borrow cheaply. So, Should We Worry About LPKF Laser & Electronics' Cash Burn? As you can probably tell by now, we're not too worried about LPKF Laser & Electronics' cash burn. In particular, we think its cash burn reduction stands out as evidence that the company is well on top of its spending. While its falling revenue wasn't great, the other factors mentioned in this article more than make up for weakness on that measure. It's clearly very positive to see that analysts are forecasting the company will break even fairly soon. After taking into account the various metrics mentioned in this report, we're pretty comfortable with how the company is spending its cash, as it seems on track to meet its needs over the medium term. We think it's very important to consider the cash burn for loss making companies, but other considerations such as the amount the CEO is paid can also enhance your understanding of the business.
