0623 GMT - Nordic markets are seen opening slightly higher with IG calling the OMXS30 up 0.3% at around 2501. U.S. stock markets had a mixed session on the last trading day of the first quarter. Overall, the S&P 500 lost 4.6% in the quarter as a whole while the Nasdaq lost 10.5%, SEB analysts say in a note. Stock market futures indicate a rise in Europe but a decline in the U.S. Tuesday. China's PMI came in slightly better than expected this morning, as did Japan, and as expected, Australia's central bank left its key interest rate unchanged at 4.10%. European March inflation due today will be important ahead of the ECB's next interest rate decision, SEB adds. OMXS30 closed at 2494.06, OMXN40 at 2372.48 and OBX at 1444.37.
