Momentum traders look for stocks already moving with conviction. These three London-listed names stood out in Monday’s session.
Antofagasta (LSE: ANTO) rose 6.2% on Monday, one of the stronger gains among the London stocks we screened. Watch whether buyers follow through at the open.
Wizz Air (LSE: WIZZ) gained 6.1%, a sharp one-day move for the airline. Moves like this can fade as quickly as they arrive, so the next session matters.
Baltic Classifieds Group (LSE: BCG) finished Monday on a five-session winning streak. It is a steadier climb than the other two, which shows persistence rather than one big jump.
