OSLO (Thomson Financial) - Nordic shares closed down in step with U.S. and
European markets as investors turned away from risk as oil punched through $126
a barrel.
Even oil companies such as Norway's StatoilHydro were down - and the selloff
extending to industrials and techs with the likes of Sweden's Electrolux and
Finland's Nokia in the red.
The VINX30 index of the 30 most traded shares listed in Stockholm, Helsinki,
Copenhagen and Oslo closed down 1.4 percent to 770.51.
