    Danish stock market is doing better after this morning’s drop

    ·

    After the tremendous drop this morning, the Danish stock market is recovering and is expected to close the day with a loss that is not as bad as many feared earlier. At the time of writing, the C25 — the index that includes the country’s most valuable companies — is down about 4% since Friday. It has remained relatively stable around that level since 10 AM, with only minor fluctuations of about a percentage point.

    Many European and global markets have performed even worse.

    This drop was triggered by a combination of events from last week: Trump imposing tariffs and then confirming them, China’s response, and growing concerns about a global market crisis.

    As often happens when major global events take place on a Friday night or over the weekend — when the stock markets are closed — the reopening on Monday morning can result in sharp declines like this one.

    This morning, at market open, the Danish main index dropped by 7.33%, marking the worst performance since the COVID outbreak. Since then, however, the day has taken a more positive turn.

    DSV has been hit hard today, down 7.5%.

    Novo Nordisk, Denmark’s most valuable company, also started poorly with a 7% drop, but has steadily improved throughout the day and is now trading at nearly the same level as on Friday.

    FC København finally won in Farum

    ·

    Jesper Skeel

    FC Nordsjællands record streak of unbeaten in 21 games at home, broke after a 1-0 defeat at home versus FC København.

    The Lions have historically had difficulties winning in Farum where the home side plays on artifical grass.

    FCK head coach Jacob Neestrup had never won there before, as Copenhagen’s last win in Farum was in 2021.

    It was not a game to remember. In a very tactical and uneventful game, FC København needed a set piece combination to secure the winning goal. The goal was the first Superliga goal, from the young striker Amin Chiakha.

    With the win, FC København goes top of the table as rivals FC Midtjylland (Herning) lost again, this time 2-1 at Randers.

    On Sunday, at huge match awaits as Brondby visits Parken. Kickoff is at 2pm.

    Fewer trains to and from Aarhus Central Station for the rest of the year

    ·

    Aarhus Central Station has been undergoing renovations since yesterday, which will cause changes to the train services.

    For the rest of the year, only two to four of the station’s six tracks will be operational, causing disruptions to train services and a reduction in the number of trains running outside of peak hours.

    InterCity and InterCityLyn services will continue to operate every half hour between Fredericia and Aarhus H, there will be fewer trains during non-peak times. The travel planner has been updated with the latest information on these changes, says DSB.

    The train company has also announced that commuters affected by the disruptions can apply for compensation. Passengers traveling from at least two of the stations Skanderborg, Aarhus H, and Hinnerup will be eligible for a 25% refund on their Commuter Cards during the period of reduced train services.

    The redevelopment will continue through 2026, with ongoing changes to train traffic expected.

    Cycling: Mads Pedersen won Gent – Wewelgem again

    ·

    Jesper Skeel

    Mads P, as he is known by Danes, was reigning champion and favourite to win again, but this win was remarkable, and exceeded his own expectations.

    After 190 Kilometers and with 60 Kilometers to go, Pedersen said goodbye to his break away group, and launched his solo mission.

    The Danish Lidl-Trek captain quickly got momentum, and with 35 kilometers to go he had a 2:00 min lead, which was enough to keep the chasing peloton away, as he faced the wind.

    Mads Pedersen succeeded and crossed the finish line first with the peloton 49 seconds behind.

    After the win Pedersen concluded with a smile:

    “Now, I know how Tadej (Pogacar red.) and Mathieu (Van der Poel red.) feel,” referring to two fellow cycling stars, known for their long solo rides.

    The win was Mads Pedersen’s third victory in Gent – Wewelgem
