– February was yet another turbulent month on the global stock exchanges, including the Nordic markets. The month started negative on continued concerns about China and the economy, but recovered in the second half. The outcome for February were small gains in Stockholm and Oslo, while Copenhagen and Helsinki fell slightly, says Håkan Nyberg, CEO of Nordnet.
– We reached a milestone in February. Half a million Nordic customers are now using Nordnet for their savings, investments and loans. The trading activity among our customers remains high. On average, our customers made more than 100,000 trades per day in February. Margin lending fell slightly compared with the previous month, while personal loans increased, says Håkan Nyberg.
