Among the morning trade's winners, Hexagon stands out, rising 6 percent after a quarterly report that was better than expected.
In contrast, the reports from SKF and SCA received a weak reception, with their stock prices falling slightly.
Other losers outside the heavyweight list are the housing website Hemnet and the construction company JM, both falling 4 percent each after their respective year-end reports.
Yesterday, the US stock exchanges, like the Stockholm Stock Exchange, rose, although it was a bit shaky during the day. During the night's Asian trade, the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose slightly, while the Chinese stock exchanges are closed for the New Year.
Ahead of the opening on Wall Street later today, the forecast suggests that the US stock exchanges will rise. After the stock exchanges closed yesterday evening, Apple released its quarterly report. The stock rose in after-hours trading since the company calmed stock speculators with a forecast of rising sales for the current quarter.
