The main index on the Oslo Stock Exchange rose from the start on Tuesday, but the mood soured throughout the day, and the main index closed 1.29 percent lower and closed at 1,198.82 points.
– This week, the market can get some rest. There is often a correction after such a tough week, so it might be a little easier now, says chief strategist Anders Johansen at Danske Bank.
On Monday, the main index rose a solid 1.56 percent. It was a long-awaited recovery after the worldwide stock market plunge. The price of oil also fell by about six percent at the end of last week.
On Tuesday, the price of oil rose again and a barrel of North Sea oil was trading at just over $115 a barrel on Tuesday afternoon.

– The Oslo Stock Exchange is mainly affected by the events in the global financial market, and secondly, it is oil prices that drive development, as Johansen points out.
Inflation or stagnation
Johansen believes that the market should strengthen itself so that there will be a lot of turmoil in the stock market in the future.
It is likely to fluctuate well both up and down across all global stock markets until inflation numbers show signs of normalization, he says.
Sky-high inflation and rising interest rates are the main cause of the great turmoil in the stock market lately. Last week, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points, its highest rise since 1994.
The challenge for central banks is to balance between too much or too little. Too little can lead to runaway inflation and a loss of credibility. Too much can lead to a recession and a significant drop in the value of financial markets, Johansen says, which in turn weakens the economy.
Concerns about aggressive monetary policy tightening are leaving the market very uncertain.
Uncertainty about upcoming interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve will be an ongoing pressure factor for the market. This also affects the development of the Oslo Stock Exchange, and to a much greater extent the austerity measures from Norges Bank, says Johansen.
On Thursday, the Norges Bank will present a new rate decision. The big question is not whether the key rate will be raised, but by how much.
– The interest rate meeting is “almost non-existent” for the Oslo Stock Exchange, but this time there is more uncertainty and tension about what Norges is down with, says Johansen, who believes the key policy rate will rise by 0.25% points.
