Shares in Rolls-Royce have begun to recover after shedding over £10bn in value following the announcement of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The Derby-based group's shares had reached an all-time high of 812p in mid-March before dropping to 635p on Monday, as reported by City AM.

They have since started to bounce back, currently trading at around 666p, marking a 4.75 per cent increase.

Despite the slump triggered by Trump's tariff announcement last week, it did not entirely erase the gains experienced when Rolls-Royce's share price soared from 606p to over 800p at the end of February and into March.

This surge occurred as Rolls-Royce reinstated dividends and announced a £1bn share buyback programme after full-year profits significantly exceeded expectations
