Perfect week as the Stockholm Stock Exchange rises

The Stockholm Stock Exchange rose in Friday trading - at the close, the OMXS index had gained 1 percent. This completed a “perfect week” for the exchange.

The Stockholm Stock Exchange closed with gains in each of the first four trading days of the week, a trend that continued on the final trading day.

Friday's rally followed sharp price increases across Asia. Investors currently appear to have shaken off the major uncertainty surrounding tensions involving Iran and are instead focusing on the upswing in the AI sector.

Hexagon topped the OMXS30 list, ending the day up 5.2 percent after Thursday's sharp price drop. Addtech rose 2.4 percent.

A barrel of North Sea oil costs around $17.30.

Since the turn of the year, the OMXS index has grown by 5 percent.
