FTSE 250 movers: Aston Martin motors on hint of tariff compromise

Sentiment got a boost after US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Fox Business that the US might meet Canada and Mexico "in the middle" to "work something out" on tariffs.
Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: "Investors are looking for any signs that Trump is open to deals rather than doling out tariffs and refusing to listen. US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick hinted we might soon see an amendment to the tariff structure that came into force this week.
"Markets would take even the slightest rollback from Trump as a positive sign, helping to settle nerves following concerns about a full-blown trade war."
Aston Martin, which is exposed to the Chinese economy and slumped on Tuesday, hit the accelerator on the news.
