Away from the war in the Middle East, there are other examples of trading activity that have raised eyebrows.
On 2 April last year, Trump announced what he called Liberation Day - a sweeping set of tariffs on goods from practically every country in the world.
Stock markets around the globe plunged.
But a week later when Trump announced a 90-day "pause" on the levies for all countries, except China, stock markets soared.
The benchmark S&P 500 index jumped by 9.5% - one of its largest single-day gains since the Second World War.
