Trump Media & Technology Group stock (DJT) was briefly halted several times in early trading on Tuesday, but shares still managed to extend their five-week surge, rising around 10%.
The volatile stock moves come as investors bet on improved chances that Donald Trump will win the November presidential election, set for a week from Tuesday.

At current levels, the stock is trading at its highest level since May, with shares up about 270% from their September lows.
