Trump's statement over the weekend about introducing 30-percent import duties on EU goods from August 1 affected the stock market mood in Europe.
At the same time, the reporting season has started quietly with interim reports from, among others, the industrial conglomerate Lifco and the fiber company Hexatronic on Monday.
Lifco reports worse figures than expected and plummeted 9.3 percent.
The company, which at the mid-year switch debuted on the OMXS30 list with the 30 most traded shares, is thus the absolute worst performer on the list.
Hexatronic also lost ground, 2.6 percent.
Another report loser was Inwido, which manufactures windows. The share fell back 9.3 percent after weaker order intake.
Volvo Cars fell 4.4 percent after the announcement that the company is making a write-down of 11.4 billion kronor.
In the opposite direction, above all, the pharmaceutical giant Astra Zeneca went. The company has announced that it has achieved the primary goal in a phase 3 study with baxdrostat, a drug treatment for high blood pressure. The share rose 2.1 percent.
At the close in Stockholm, the stock exchanges in Frankfurt and Paris were also clearly minus. The stock exchange in London, on the other hand, was just as clearly plus – which can be interpreted in the light of the fact that the United Kingdom has already concluded a customs agreement with the USA.
On the New York stock exchange, all three leading indices were slightly plus.
In the currency market, the US dollar has strengthened slightly and now costs 9.61 kronor. A euro costs 11.23 kronor.
