High activity level in July

Investor activity continued to increase after an active June this July. The total share turnover among DNB’s customers ended at NOK 14.2 billion this warm summer month. Net purchases were recorded for NOK 91 million.

Nordic shares ended up over five per cent in July after Novo Nordisk fell almost 29 per cent. This is also reflected in the trading activity, in which Novo Nordisk tops up the list of the most traded international shares and in addition is part of the top five net purchased share in total.

Novo Nordisk and Kongsberg Gruppen were bought net for about the same volume, but the Kongsberg Gruppen ended up slightly higher. 

The numbers in the top lists

All numbers are based on trading activity performed in the last month via both DNB’s equity trading service online and in the Spare app. The top lists are sorted either based on the number of transactions (buy and sell), net volume (the total amount bought minus the total amount sold), or gross volume (the total amount bought and sold).
