Shares of Catenae Innovation PLC (LON: CTEA) spiked higher despite the lack of significant announcements from the digital media and technology company.
The company’s shares benefitted briefly from the buzz created after the UK government asked it to participate in developing a Digital Identity Policy last week.
However, the spike was short-lived as the shares headed lower soon afterwards, erasing most of their initial gains.
