SIG Plc (LON: SHI) shares surged 3.2% higher today despite the company which supplies specialist building materials to trade customers across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe not making any new announcements.

According to data released by the UK’s Ofice for National Statistics, monthly construction output grew by a record 23.5% in June 2020, substantially higher than the previous record monthly growth of 7.6% in May 2020.
