  "account": "Oslo Børs index rose 0.6 percent to a new record high on Monday morning following an increase in oil prices. Brent spot prices climbed around 2.8 percent to $90.6 per barrel overnight, due to the United States attacking Iranian infrastructure on the island of Larak in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday. Captain Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for US Central Command, reported that Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines in Hormuz. Iran retaliated by firing missiles at Jordan, which were intercepted by American forces according to the Financial Times. Bakkafrost, a Norwegian fish processing company with operations in the Faroe Islands and Scotland, reported its fourth quarter results on Monday morning. The company's operational profit increased to 273 million Danish kroner from 65 million in the same period last year. However, the performance was weaker than expected, while Scottish operations faced losses. Analysts predict that 2026 operational profit estimates may be adjusted downward due to the significant profit drop in the second quarter, but improved earnings outside of processing operations and a more favorable volume profile in the latter half of the year could mitigate the effects, according to Pareto Securities analyst Henrik Longva Knutsen. Bakkafrost's quarterly earnings report is expected to be released on Tuesday. Meanwhile, there is uncertainty about the extent of Capital Tankers' success in securing contracts for tankers at fixed prices, both in the spot market and under long-term contracts, but it remains to be seen if such deals are actually occurring. Nordeas investment director, Robert Næss, expressed interest in learning about the company's achievements and future positioning.",
