I imagine I'm reading far too much into this, but both United's and Dortmund's share prices have increased sharply today. And in fact United's has increased by the highest percentage since we signed Pogba. Probably nothing, but perhaps interesting nonetheless.

Its not a coincidence.

Deal nearly done seemingly.

I have no idea about how shares can increase. I thought first you make the transfer and then the share increase. As Gilly says shares increased before the transfer. Can someone explain to me the situation?

Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place, but the share price doesn’t seem to have risen at all. It’s actually still down quite considerably (around 35%) since January.

Herrera, buys will get front-run just like sells. This can often come from insider knowledge. That could be the case here if the share price has increased prior to an event (the Sancho signing) . It could also be purely speculative, investors will get FOMO and the price will rise only.

This leads to latecomers longing the stock at the time the event is announced only to be dumps on by the investors who bought prior. A lot of it is manipulation and you can often see stocks driven down despite positive news. Or vice versa with stocks trending up against bad news, for example with Hertz during March/ April.

Long story short, big events can often be secondary to fear and greed so it’s quite normal for prices to become volatile based on a rumour.
