Shares in Donald Trump's social media company have surged after he survived an assassination attempt on Saturday.
Shares in Trump Media, which runs the Truth Social platform, opened for formal trading today up about 30 per cent.
The price had risen as much as 70 per cent over the weekend before falling back again.
Analysts said the gains reflected bets that the shooting had improved Mr Trump's chances of winning the US presidential election in November.
Billionaire Elon Musk is among those who have formally endorsed Mr Trump since the shooting.
