Öppning i dur väntas

Wall Street closed higher on Thursday. The S&P 500 added 0,4 per cent into the bell and the Nasdaq 0,6, with the move concentrated in the large technology names rather than broad across the index.

Asia followed. The Nikkei is up 1,1 per cent at the time of writing and the Hang Seng has held its early gains through the morning session. Chinese industrial data landed close to expectations and did little to move the tape either way.

Brent is steady just under 74 dollars. The ten-year is unchanged on the day.

Stockholm futures point above the line at the open. The domestic calendar is thin until Friday.
