Stockholm stocks fall 1.4% after Wall Street's AI-driven slide

Stockholm's stock exchange fell Friday, with the OMXS index down 1.4 percent, following Wednesday's sharp decline on Wall Street triggered by AI-related concerns. The drop is milder than in the US, where leading indices saw their worst trading day since April 2025. Asian markets, including Seoul and Tokyo, also fell sharply, while Wall Street futures indicated further declines. Stockholm's less tech-focused market limited losses, with the OMXS30 index down 1.5 percent. Alfa Laval announced it will acquire Norwegian company Navtor for over 6.85 billion kronor, with its shares falling 0.8 percent.
