Last Friday, the Stockholm Stock Exchange closed slightly down, while the US stock markets hovered around zero.
After some Democrats joined the Republican side this weekend, it looks like a budget deal may be reached. This could bring the month-long shutdown of large parts of the US government to an end. However, it is not yet clear.
Ahead of the opening on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, pre-trade indicates that the leading indices are up one percent. It looks the same in Europe, as well as in the US, where futures trading is clearly in the positive.
