Development on the Stockholm stock exchange is in line with the development on the leading European markets.

Price development occurs after yesterday evening's meeting between American President Donald Trump and Ukraine's Zelenskyj together with several of Western Europe's leaders. This resulted in a possible meeting between Russia's Putin and Zelenskyj.

Defense company Saab declines 2.4 percent and thus performs worst among the 30 largest companies on the Stockholm stock exchange. In the opposite direction, primarily vehicle manufacturer Volvo rises 1.1 percent.

Among the smaller companies, a decline is noted for real estate company Balder, which falls 0.8 percent. This is after the founder and CEO Erik Selin announced that he will leave at the annual meeting in 2026.

Internet operator Bahnhof rises 1.5 percent after this morning's interim report.
