Four shares that have defied the market and made notably solid gains today are listed below. Here’s why they have climbed higher:

The Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS) share price is up 12.5% to 93.2 cents after the lithium developer announced that it has entered into a broad-based strategic relationship with leading South Korean industrial conglomerate POSCO.
