Denmark Stocks Dive Just Before the Market Closes

The day of Friday brought a lot of volatility across the world stock markets as the news of President Trump contracting COVID-19 got around. Denmark stocks also took a hit and were decreased after the close on Friday. The major losses were incurred by the Health, Technology and Software & Computer Services sectors as their shares dropped.

There were still some stocks that performed well on the OMX Copenhagen 20.
