Among the major companies on OMXS30, the mining company Boliden performed the best, up 5.4 percent. The winners also included Epiroc, a spin-off from Atlas Copco, up 2.2 percent.
The engineering company Atlas Copco also performed well and regained some of the decline after an unexpectedly weak quarterly report on Friday. The share rose 1.9 percent.
It went worse for the defense group Saab, which served as a brake pad with a price drop of 5.6 percent – a correction after Friday's report rally. The industrial conglomerate Lifco also fell back, down 2.2 percent, as did the construction company Skanska, down 1.1 percent.
The leading European stock exchanges pointed in different directions at the close of the Stockholm stock exchange. The FTSE100 index in London was up, the CAC40 index in Paris fell back and the DAX index in Frankfurt fluctuated around zero.
Last week's intense reporting flood on the Stockholm stock exchange is over, but a few heavy reports are expected later in the week. And on Wednesday, the first major tech reports from the US will arrive, with quarterly figures from Google owner Alphabet and Elon Musk's electric car manufacturer Tesla.
The market will also receive an interest rate decision from the European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday, while the situation remains unclear in the negotiations between the EU and the US on tariffs.
