Swedish stock market and economic activity

The Swedish financial market maintained its positive momentum through late September 2026. Following earlier growth in the OMXS30 index and improved macroeconomic forecasts, the Stockholm Stock Exchange continued to rise during midday trading on Wednesday, September 30, with the OMXS30 increasing by 0.3 percent to 3,296.

This market activity was influenced by hawkish signals from Riksbank Governor Erik Thedéen, who suggested that a rate hike in November “may be reasonable.” These comments contributed to an increase in Swedish bank stocks.

Corporate performance remained a key driver. SkiStar reported annual results that met analyst expectations, noting an operating profit of 872 million SEK and an 18 percent increase in adjusted results to 870 million SEK. CEO Stefan Sjöstrand attributed this growth and improved profitability to summer season initiatives, which helped summer quarter revenue reach 292 million SEK, exceeding expectations.

In the broader commodities market, Brent crude oil prices rose 1.6 percent to 97 dollars per barrel, even amid reports of increased deliveries from the Middle East.
