Shares of Tower Resources PLC (LON: TRP) surged 96.7% today despite the lack of any major announcements from the Africa-focused oil and gas company.
There was no clear catalyst behind the company’s spike in the middle of the London trading session as buyers stepped in pushing the stock’s price 96% higher before quickly falling.
Given that it is a penny stock, traders should be careful chasing the stock higher, especially since there is no clearly-evident fundamental driver behind the spike.
