OMXS30 closed at 3,244 points on October 9, 2026, up 1.3 percent, as industrial and materials shares led a broad Stockholm rebound. The index provider Nasdaq recorded a high of 3,255 points and a low of 3,232 points.
Boliden led the large-cap index with a 4.7 percent gain, according to Dagens Nyheter.
Industrials and materials lead the rebound
Mining and industrial stocks drove the advance. Alfa Laval rose 3.1 percent and EQT gained 2.9 percent. Hexagon finished nearly 3 percent higher after its acquisition of Canadian software company Rocscience, a transaction that the company said is expected to contribute positively to net income, EFN reported.
SEB strategist Stefan Cederberg linked the broader rebound to lower bond yields, a decline in oil prices and a statement from Donald Trump that the United States would not attack Iran before the midterm elections, EFN reported.
Telecom stocks move against the index
Telia fell 3.8 percent and Tele2 declined 1.8 percent. The weakness followed a selloff in telecom stocks in the United States and Europe after SpaceX acquired a nationwide portfolio of low-frequency radio spectrum licenses, according to EFN.

Sweden's AF weekly statistics are scheduled for Monday, October 12, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. CEST, according to Affarsvarlden.
