Investor sentiment on the OMX Stockholm 30 index remained subdued throughout the trading session, with the benchmark closing down 0.10%. Market watchers attribute the cautious mood to a mix of geopolitical uncertainties and upcoming economic data releases in the Eurozone, prompting traders to adopt a wait-and-see approach. Moderated gains in key sectors such as industrials and technology were offset by declines in consumer goods and energy stocks, reflecting the mixed outlook across Sweden’s main industries.
