Nordic Stocks Tipped to Open Slightly Higher -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-20 15:32

0732 GMT - Nordic markets are seen opening slightly higher, with IG calling the OMXS30 up 0.3% at around 2918. Pressure on markets eased somewhat late Thursday after Israel's prime minister said it will not hit further energy targets, that the war will end sooner than many think, SEB's Erik Meyersson writes. Brent oil fell to $108 a barrel yesterday, but this wasn't enough to prevent broad declines on stock markets, he says. Equity markets in Japan and large parts of Asia are closed but European and U.S. futures point higher. Friday sees the quarterly "triple-witching" event, when a large number of options linked to U.S. equities expire, Meyersson adds. OMXS30 closed at 2908.97, OMXN40 at 2414.18 and OBX at 1954.02.
