Index movements were minimal on the New York stock exchange on Monday, when the US President Donald Trump simultaneously met Ukraine's Volodomyr Zelenskyj and a number of European leaders in Washington.

The broad S&P 500 index and the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index both closed unchanged, while the Dow Jones industrial index rose 0.1 percent.

The share in the Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk rose sharply, up 6.6 percent, after the US pharmaceutical agency FDA approved Wegovy, a new medicine against liver disease.

The company behind Soho House has been sold to the hotel company MCR, which paid 2.7 billion dollars, equivalent to 25.8 billion kronor. Soho House has 46 member clubs around the world, including in Stockholm. The share soared 14.9 percent.
