Stockholm Stock Exchange edges higher as oil prices fall

Oil prices are falling slightly, giving the Stockholm Stock Exchange a small boost on Tuesday. The broad OMXS index rose 0.1 percent.

Among the heavyweights, several engineering companies are at the top. Machinery manufacturer Epiroc and engineering giant Atlas Copco performed best, up 3.4 and 2.3 percent respectively.

At the bottom is clothing chain H&M, down 2.6 percent.

The housing site Hemnet – one of the year's big losers on the stock market – rose 5.9 percent after news of new advertising models and major staff cuts.

The krona fell to 10 kronor per dollar this morning, but has recovered a few cents from that level – the lowest since April 2025.

The price of North Sea oil (Brent) has fallen to $104.5 per barrel on the futures market, down from just over $107 on Monday.
