S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are in the green, up 0.15% at 8,138.4 points on Thursday.
The market has been volatile since the announcement of US reciprocal tariffs in early April caused temporary chaos.
A dramatic plunge in the first week of April quickly turned around. However, the market remains nervous today.
It's interesting to note that the benchmark index is now trading above its level before the US tariffs were announced.
However, one broker thinks the ASX 200 could dive again in May as negotiations between the US and its trading partners continue.
Meanwhile, brokers have identified some ASX 200 shares that they think are set to rise despite anticipated further market volatility.
Here are five ASX 200 shares just upgraded to a 'strong buy' consensus rating among analysts on CommSec.
