Pangaea’s shares are quite volatile and have had 15 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Pangaea and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 25 days ago when the stock gained 4.6% on the news that a softened tone from President Donald Trump on U.S.-China relations boosted investor sentiment. The positive shift followed a weekend post on Truth Social where Trump stated, "Don't worry about China, it will all be fine!" and expressed a desire to help rather than hurt the country's economy. This statement provided significant relief to markets that had ended the prior week with steep losses. In response, the Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.2%, the S&P 500 gained 1.6%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 1.3% higher, as investors' fears of escalating trade tensions subsided.
