0656 GMT - Nordic markets are seen opening slightly higher, with IG calling the OMXS30 up 0.4% at around 2459. U.S. stock markets continued to rise on Thursday after President Trump presented a new trade agreement with the U.K., SEB analysts say in a note. "The fact that many details of the agreement are still not decided shows how pressured Trump has been to deliver a deal to calm markets," they say. In addition, Trump hinted that tariffs against China may be lowered soon and talks with China will start in Geneva over the weekend. Stock market futures are pointing upwards in both Europe and the U.S. OMXS30 closed at 2449.20, OMXN40 at 2298.23 and OBX at 1433.99. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
