The stock market is up almost nine percent since the turn of the year
The Stockholm Stock Exchange has performed unexpectedly well during the start of 2023. And even today it closed with green figures.
Early trading today was characterized by stress and tension, but when the US inflation figures were released, the stress was replaced by relief.
That’s what Dagens Industri writes.
The stock market has only one down day in 2023 and is up nearly 9 percent in total since the turn of the year.
Things are also going well on Wall Street in New York. The Dow Jones just closed at plus 0.64 percent. The broad S&P500 rose 0.34 percent and the Nasdaq closed, like the Dow Jones, at plus 0.64.
Today’s US inflation announcement may be a ray of light in the economic darkness. Tomorrow there will be new information about Swedish inflation. You can read more about it here.

“The past eight years were the warmest ever in the world, driven by ever-increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and accumulated heat,” the WMO writes in a statement on Thursday.

Turkey summoned Sweden’s ambassador after Erdogan doll
Turkey summoned Sweden’s ambassador for talks on Thursday, after a puppet representing President Erdogan was hung outside Stockholm’s city hall, reports SVT News.
It is unclear what was said during the meeting.
The incident has caused Turkey to accuse Sweden of breach of promise, writes DN.
Foreign Minister Tobias Billström has come out and called the action “abhorrent” after Turkish media contacted the government on Thursday.
But that is not enough for Erdogan’s spokesperson Fahrettin Altun.
“This is proof that the Swedish authorities have not taken the necessary steps against terrorism, as they have claimed lately,” he writes on Twitter.
He also writes that Sweden must keep its promises to join NATO.
The Rojava Committees network has posted a video on Twitter of the doll along with a message.
The doll should now be picked up.

The suspect is reasonably suspected, which is the lower of the degrees of suspicion.
– There is information that he has been in the apartment and that there has been a fight in the apartment that preceded the fall from the building, says prosecutor Carl Eideland to P4 Stockholm.

Soon it will be possible to dance without permission.
After 67 years, the requirement for a dance permit for pub owners is removed, TT writes.
The government decided on that today.
“This is a long-awaited freedom reform. It is not reasonable for the state to regulate people’s dance. By removing the requirement for a dance permit, we also reduce bureaucracy and costs for entrepreneurs and others who organize dances,” says Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) in a press release from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Climate and Business.
There has been very broad support in the Riksdag for removing the requirement for a dance permit.
The changes to the law are proposed to enter into force on 1 July 2023.

Two dead people found in Molde
Two people have been found dead in a home in Molde, Norway.
It was a third person who alerted the police about the dead in the apartment, according to the newspaper.
The Norwegian police are tight-lipped and do not want to go into more detail about who the dead people are. They also do not want to comment on possible reasons for the incident.
It is unclear whether there is any crime behind it, according to Norwegian media.
The home is cordoned off and forensics will now investigate the scene.

Nene
Yes. Here you can follow our reporting on Mexico and collect things that are specifically related to “El Chapo”.
Do we trust Paasikivi too much?
Leif
Difficult to answer Leif.
Lieutenant Colonel Joakim Paasikivi has a solid education and experience in the military, so he should be aware of the facts.
When it comes to analysis, he has a good foundation to stand on, but of course he can be wrong too. Just like everyone else.
If I say that Sweden is more of a NATO member country than Turkey, am I wrong then in reality in reality?
Mikael
Yes, you can probably say that you are.
Given that Turkey is a member of NATO and Sweden is not (currently).
What does an unpaid intern at TV4 expect, maybe not to clean but maybe not to be in the limelight either Or what do you think at AB, should you send out an intern on the “heavy” assignments? But you never answer, so we won’t know

Hey! The review shows that the production company Mastiff described the job as working with the television production itself, but that the reality was different. So it depends on what you promise. For example, if we have a trainee reporter, you will at least get to be a reporter. And as far as I know, they usually enjoy it.
Why does Tove’s investigation feel so strange? Long periods of detention for the girls who are in custody, the police being extremely secretive about the circumstances and a what feels like an unusual investigation? Can you boil down the circumstances so that you keep up with where you are now in the process?
