The DAX spike today

Hi,

just wanted to inform you, that the spike of 40 points down at 10:17 CET in the DAX was caused by an "input error".
Apparently a key on some trader's keyboard got "stuck", resulting in selling way more than he intended.

At least that's what they're saying here on german TV (n-tv).

Thanks, I was wondering wtf happened as there were no news to cause such move.

which channel in Germany, thought everyone watched CNBC

 

Can we start another thread about this spike. We've only got 3

 

It was on n-tv, it's a german news station that covers the stock markets too. They also have a live stream on the internet:
