After last week's strong close on Wall Street with clear gains on US stock markets, things are now up in Stockholm as well.
Among the companies on the OMXS30 list, mining giant Boliden leads the way with a rise of 1.1 percent. The price of copper has risen sharply and is now approaching a price of $12,000 per ton, making this year's price increase the largest since 2009.
Other winners include Skanska, which has signed a contract for highway construction in California, USA. The contract is worth the equivalent of SEK 1.1 billion, and the share rose 1.2 percent.
In the opposite direction is primarily the pharmaceutical group AstraZeneca, which is down 1.1 percent.
