The DAX spike today

[Amnesiac]

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.

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:
