Stockholm stock exchange falls as oil price continues to rise

The Stockholm Stock Exchange started the trading day higher, but the falling oil price dampened sentiment. The stock exchange's broad OMXS index fell 0.5 percent on Thursday.

After yesterday's broad decline, the Stockholm Stock Exchange initially turned up on Thursday. But as the oil price fell further, the stock market slipped back.

A barrel of North Sea oil now costs $106, compared with $101 this morning.

On the OMXS30 list, mining companies Epiroc and Boliden each fell 4 percent. Telia went against the grain with a rise of 2 percent.

Early trading on Wall Street is also pointing downward.
