Nordic markets are seen opening slightly lower, with IG calling the ONMXS30 down 0.3% at around 3226. After a mixed performance in Europe, stock prices rose more clearly in the U.S. yesterday, SEB economist Marcus Widen writes. Equity markets in Asia are lower, especially in South Korea, where Samsung is down despite reports of rising profit margins, he adds. Stock market futures ahead of Europe's opening point to a decline. Oil prices have moved up a bit. There are new reports of both U.S. threats and Iranian attacks on certain ships, but the market focus is also on how the oil market is physically slowly recovering, Widen says. Today, the NATO meeting in Ankara is likely to attract interest. OMXS30 closed at 3235.53, OMXN40 at 2738.65 and OBX at 1871.51. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
