Online rental platform rent.com.au (ASX:RNT) jumped at the opening bell and kept climbing to close 200 per cent higher, after the company took a strategic investment from high profile investor Bevan Slattery.

Emperor Energy (ASX:EMP) was also a big mover, although the company responded to an ASX price query by saying it wasn’t aware of any news that prompted its ~80 per cent gain.
