The OMXS index, which lists all the stocks on the exchange, rose 1.4 percent, while the OMXS30 increased 1.3 percent.
Among the winners were several industrial companies, such as Alfa Laval and Atlas Copco, which rose 4.3 and 2.9 percent, respectively. The mining industry also performed well, with increases for both Boliden and Epiroc, both of which rose over 2 percent.
Going against the trend was primarily Saab, down 7.0 percent. The stock fell, like many other defense stocks, as hopes for an end to the war in Ukraine increased after Monday's meeting in Washington between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodomyr Zelenskij and a number of Western European leaders.
Among the smaller companies, a rise was noted for the real estate company Balder, which rose 1.3 percent. The founder and CEO, Erik Selin, announced on Monday that he will leave at the annual meeting next year.

The development on the Stockholm stock exchange was in line with the development on the leading European markets. The Paris stock exchange performed the best, rising over 1 percent.
