Flatt på Oslo Børs – Aker stiger etter avtalerykter
Aker-aksjen hopper etter rykter om Anthropic-avtale for Nscale.
Oslo Børs' main index rose by 0.02% just after the market opened, suggesting a rise in some of the most traded stocks. Oil prices jumped over 1.6% since Oslo Børs closed on Monday evening. Nordsjøolje (brent spot) traded shortly before the market opened at around $110 per barrel. The reason for the oil price surge is increased tension in the Middle East, where Yemeni Houthis have stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia.
Gas prices in Europe (Netherlands' TTF) hit a yearly record of 89 euros per megawatt hour on Monday. There is little gas in storage, and Europeans are paying nearly three times more for the gas now than they did the same time last year. Tuesday saw gas traded at 88 euros. Several energy stocks have been lifted by the energy price hikes.
Nscale, where Kjell Inge Røkkes Aker is a significant shareholder, is in talks with AI giant Anthropic about a new deal worth around $45 billion, according to Bloomberg on Monday evening based on anonymous sources. According to news agency, the agreement could come through already within the next few days. Negotiations continue, and no final decision has been made. The upward trend comes after a fall of more than 7% on Monday.
