The BSX Insurance Index jumped 30 points, or 1.85 per cent, today and closed at 1,652.77.

This followed on from its 2.4 per cent jump on Tuesday and was the second day of a sharp rebound following an initial Brexit vote-related slump.

The Royal Gazette/BSX Index ended the day unchanged at 1,169.34 after a day of no trading of domestic-board companies.
