0647 GMT - Nordic markets are seen opening slightly higher with IG calling the OMXS30 up 0.1% at around 2462. Over the weekend, Israel and Iran have continued to attack each other and the risk of a further escalation is high, SEB analysts write. Concern is growing about the security policy consequences of the crisis, the impact on global energy prices, inflation and interest rates as well as the risk of disruptions in global value chains, SEB adds. The market now awaits policy rate decisions from Japan on Tuesday, the Riksbank and the Fed on Wednesday as well as Norges Bank, the Bank of England and Switzerland on Thursday. Asian stock markets, like stock market futures, are surprisingly resilient early Monday, SEB says. OMXS30 closed at 2459.61, OMXN40 at 2434.30 and OBX at 1548.58. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
