He fluctuated this week on the Oslo Stock Exchange, which ended Thursday with a 3.6 percent increase. However, for the week as a whole, Norwegian stocks fell 3.7 percent in the most recent week.

On Friday, stocks are pointing lower again, with the main index on the Oslo Stock Exchange down 1.85 percent, led by declines in both US and Asian stock markets over the past 24 hours. What moves the markets:

• The first earnings reports have arrived, and several tech companies like Tesla and Apple report that the problem in the supply chain, among other things, continues.
• The US Federal Reserve warns that interest rates will be raised “soon”. This will make capital more expensive and generally have a negative effect on stocks and bonds.
• In addition, “geopolitical insecurity” persists, as the fear of a Russian attack on Ukraine and its consequences politically and on the energy crisis in Europe raises fears.

The Oslo Stock Exchange also has very significant influence on individual companies.
