Vestas took the lead among the Danish elite stocks on Wednesday after American orders totaling 505 MW were received. NKT and Rockwool also made a particularly good showing in the C25 index, where there was generally an excellent mood on increasing expectations of a quick solution in the Middle East.
Overall, the C25 index gained 0.7 percent to 1642.19, with 19 of the shares ending in the red. Heavyweights Novo Nordisk, DSV and Mærsk ended as a counterweight near the bottom.
Among other things, there were reports that the United States has sent a 15-point plan to Tehran, which will form the basis for peace negotiations. This sent the oil price into retreat and temporarily dampened the otherwise strongly flaring fears of inflation and economic downturn.
Vestas landed several American orders totaling 505 MW on Wednesday. And this shows that the market for onshore wind turbines in the USA is still going strong, even though the president is Donald Trump and is an outspoken opponent of wind energy, Jacob Pedersen, AL Sydbank's head of equity research, told MarketWire.
The Vestas share was already doing well before the orders were announced, but the share received an extra boost and ended up with a plus of 6 percent to DKK 166.10 at the top of the C25. Energy colleague Ørsted also rose 3.5 percent to DKK 145.10.
NKT was able to record a plus of 4.8 percent to DKK 804.50, without any major company-specific news being the reason. Rockwool rose 3.9 percent. to 178.82 kr.
And then Novonesis came into the limelight at the major bank Citi, which turned a corner in relation to the enzyme and ingredient producer and raised its recommendation directly to "buy" from the previous "sell". The price target was also raised to 415 kr. from 380 kr. Novonesis rose 2.3 percent to 366.80 kr.
With a slight relief in inflation fears from falling oil prices, the bond market was simultaneously characterized by falling interest rates. For the leading ten-year government bond in Denmark, this meant a yield drop of 6 basis points to 2.81 percent. measured against Tuesday afternoon.
