C20 Cap-Index in record jump

All 20 companies on the index increased

A week after the Danish C20 Cap-Index recorded its largest ever one-day fall, it came roaring back yesterday with a record increase.

Maersk led the way on a day when all 20 companies on the index rose, eventually closing up 5.1 percent for the day – the largest one-day jump since the new index opened in 2011.

“Last week was very volatile, but we saw a turning point in the USA last Friday, where we saw better than expected retail sales,” Mikkel Duus-Hansen, an analyst at Spar Nord bank, told DR Nyheder.

“It gives us hope that the US economy isn’t doing that badly now and that there is momentum in private consumption.”

Duus-Hansen went on to contend that the historic rise was also helped along by good news in China and a little more optimism in the oil industry.
