The Stockholm Stock Exchange initially rises. At the opening, the OMXS index is up 0.2 percent. Major bank SEB is falling sharply, with its share price down 4.7 percent, following this morning's news that the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has decided to impose a temporary surcharge on the bank's capital requirements.
Ericsson, among others, is moving in the opposite direction, rising 1.6 percent ahead of Thursday's interim report.
