Figures from Statistics Sweden showed that Sweden's unemployment rate decreased less-than-expected in July.
The jobless rate fell to 6.3 percent in July, slightly higher than the 5.9 percent drop expected by economists. In July, the jobless rate was 7.6 percent.
Separate data showed that producer prices dropped 0.3 percent on month in July, reversing a 1.5 percent gain in June.
