The Stockholm Stock Exchange is trading down while the krona strengthens against the dollar, ahead of Wednesday's delayed US jobs figures. The OMXS index has fallen 0.6 percent by 11 a.m.

Measurement technology company Hexagon and venture capital company EQT weigh in with declines of 2.6 and 3.3 percent, respectively.

The helmet technology company Mips falls 3.7 percent after a dividend cut. The audiobook company and publisher Storytel falls 0.5 percent on the First North list after its financial results for 2025.

The market is positioning itself for the delayed January jobs figures from the US – nonfarm payrolls – which are expected at 2:30 p.m. Swedish time.

Wall Street looks set to turn higher in futures trading after Tuesday's decline.

The dollar is under pressure and is hovering around 8.86 kronor per dollar - the strongest krona exchange rate against the dollar since the end of January.

The OMXS index is up 4.6 percent since the turn of the year.
