Nordic Stocks Tipped to Open Slightly Lower -- Market Talk

0635 GMT - Nordic markets are seen opening slightly lower, with IG calling the OMXS30 down 0.4% to 3318. "The week begins with a suppressed risk appetite in Asia due to the fact that the U.S. and Iran have once again directed military attacks against each other," SEB's Dana Malas writes. Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's speech in Jackson Hole on Friday also signaled disappointment that inflation remains above the 2.0% target and a risk that interest rates could rise, she says. The market now prices a roughly 60% probability of a rate increase on September 16. September could be an important month, with the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan expected to raise rates, Malas adds. OMXS30 closed at 3331.27, OMXN40 at 2733.09 and OBX at 2024.48.
