Stockholm closed on the plus side yesterday, while developments on the Asian stock markets have been mixed overnight.
In other markets, the oil price retreated slightly, to just under 90 dollars for a barrel of North Sea oil. Yesterday, Saudi Arabia and Russia, somewhat surprisingly, announced that they would continue with their production cuts for three more months, sending oil prices soaring.
The dollar continues to strengthen against most currencies. In kroner it costs in the morning 11:09. One euro costs 11:91.
