Stockholm Stock Exchange Steady as Saab Shares Decline

After a cautiously positive opening, the Stockholm stock exchange's broad OMX index closed sideways.

On the plus side among the major companies is Astra Zeneca, which rose 2.5 percent, clothing giant H&M, up 2.2 percent, and hygiene and health company Essity, which rose 1.5 percent.

Yesterday's winner, defense company Saab, did not appeal to investors and fell by as much as 6.8 percent, despite the fact that today it was announced that they will receive an order from the Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) for air defense systems worth 1.5 billion kronor. On the minus side, measurement technology company Hexagon was also traded, down 1.2 percent, and major bank Nordea, which fell just as much.

For the leading stock exchanges in Europe, the result was mixed.
