Read our client and market trends for April to see what other Saxo clients were doing last month and what some of the big market moves were.
The most bought and sold stocks and ETFs last week.
Clients were buying into semiconductor stocks last week with Micron the most traded single stock as shares continued their dizzying rally.
Shares in the memory chipmaker jumped almost 20% in a single day to join the $1tn market cap club after UBS lifted its price target to $1,625 from $535. Micron is seen being at the centre of AI-driven demand for memory.
The move by Micron knocked Nvidia off the top spot to second on the list of most traded stocks last week, but with a strong 70% net buy percentage it was one of the most popular.
Underlining strong client interest in the chips space the VanEck Semiconductor UCITS ETF was the fifth most traded name with 83% buys.
On the flip side clients were net sellers of some popular tech stocks including Microsoft, Oracle, AMD and Meta Platforms.
Space tech stocks are gaining traction ahead of the SpaceX IPO – Redwire, AST SpaceMobile and RocketLab among the most popular names to trade last week. Redwire hasn’t appeared in this series before, but clients latched onto the stock’s 40% rally last week with 71% buys. The VanEck Space Innovators UCITS ETF registered 92% net buys to top the most popular rankings. Quantum stocks were also among the most actively traded as they continued their volatile climb this year.
Among UK shares only BP and Rolls-Royce made the top 30 most traded stocks and ETFs.
