The most bought and sold stocks and ETFs last week.
The ceasefire between the US and Iran barely held last week and hopes for progress on peace talks faltered, though investors continued to buy equities as the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 closed out Friday at fresh all-time highs.
Clients were net buyers of Microsoft and Tesla but net sellers of Nvidia – those were the three most actively traded single stocks last week.
Intel stormed up the inside to make the top 5 most traded as the stock soared on a bumper earnings update to surpass its dotcom-era all-time high. Last week saw unusually strong trading activity in Intel, which registered the second-largest week-on-week rise in trade volumes, just below UnitedHealth, which also posted strong Q1 earnings last week.
Rolls-Royce made the top ten and was the most actively traded UK-listed name with 58% net buys.
Stocks with the heaviest buy percentage of trades included beaten up tech names IBM and ServiceNow, whilst EasyJet, Sivers Semiconductors and Berkshire Hathaway were also popular.
After UNH and INTC, the stocks with the largest week-on-week rise in trade volumes were ServiceNow (earnings), Marvell Technology (reports of an AI deal with Google) and AST SpaceMobile (launched satellite in wrong orbit).
Clients were net sellers of Apple after the company announced that John Ternus would succeed Tim Cook as CEO from September.
In the ETF space the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS Acc ETF and the VanEck Semiconductor UCITS ETF were strong favourites with over 90% buy percentages as clients continued to look to ETFs for diversification.
