Yesterday's Recap
Equity markets closed mixed across the Nordic bloc on 29 September. OMX Stockholm 30 advanced 0.18% to 3,286.19 while Oslo Bors declined 0.91% to 2,075.53. OMX Copenhagen 25 eased 0.12% to 1,832.93 and OMX Helsinki 25 fell 0.51% to 6,461.29.
The Swedish krona weakened further with USD/SEK climbing 0.37% to 10.00, the weakest level since spring 2025. USD/NOK rose 0.72% to 9.60, EUR/SEK edged 0.03% higher to 11.33 and EUR/NOK gained 0.38% to 10.88. Brent crude’s sharp 6.12% drop to 96.31 weighed on Norway’s fiscal outlook and the krone.
Gold advanced 0.74% to 4,210.70 while Bitcoin slipped 0.27% to 83,277.22. Sweden’s 10-year yield rose 1 bp to 3.29% and Norway’s 10-year yield increased 4 bp to 4.64%. No CPI, GDP or labour-market releases occurred in any Nordic country.
The Riksbank published conditions and results for its certificate sales. Norway’s sovereign wealth fund warned that weakening shareholder rights in multiple markets threaten long-term value creation.
The Day Ahead
No economic data releases or central-bank meetings are scheduled for 30 September or 1 October in Sweden, Norway, Denmark or Finland. Markets will monitor ongoing krona and krone movements amid the Brent price decline. Norges Bank’s recent adjustment in IGO Ltd holdings may draw limited attention.
Routine Riksbank certificate operations continue without policy implications. Broader focus remains on external drivers such as US yields and oil prices. October 2026 brings the presentation of Norway’s 2027 National Budget along with new disability-benefit rules and winter-tyre deadlines that could influence household spending patterns.
Other Economic Notes
Sweden’s export-oriented manufacturing sector faces headwinds from the krona’s continued depreciation. Norway’s oil-exporting economy absorbs the direct impact of Brent’s steep decline on fiscal revenues and currency strength. Denmark maintains its EUR/DKK peg through Danmarks Nationalbank operations while Finland follows ECB policy as a eurozone member.
No housing or trade data emerged to alter near-term outlooks. ↓ p.2
