An initial decline has been erased after the futures trading on the New York stock exchange turned upwards, based on, among other things, strong interim reports from the banking sector.
For the Swedish part, however, it is a much more mixed bag among the major banks. Handelsbanken is one of today's biggest losers with a price drop of just over 8 percent after a weaker report than expected. SEB, on the other hand, delivered better results but has turned downwards and falls back 0,9 percent.
Today's third major company to report, Sandvik, is rising, on the other hand. The engineering company announces, among other things, a strong order intake. Among today's other winners, Ericsson is noted, which after yesterday's price drop recovers and rises 2.5 percent. On the leading European stock exchanges, it is slightly upwards and, among other things, the Frankfurt stock exchange rises 0.3 percent.
