  "account": "Oslo Børs' main index fell 0.30 percent just before 10 a.m. on Monday. Some of the most traded stocks continued to decline as oil prices fell again, following unrest in the Middle East that pushed Brent crude to $101.5 a barrel, down 1.5 percent for the day. Elsewhere, key European exchanges opened on a strong note, as did Asian stock markets in the morning. Before the week was over, there was a modest rally on Wall Street in the U.S. on Friday evening, with red numbers on both Oslo Børs and European exchanges on Friday. AI company Nscale, where Kjell Inge Røkkes Aker is the largest shareholder, has officially sought to list on the New York Stock Exchange. Aker increased its stake in the company to 23.9 percent in March, making it the second-largest shareholder in Aker's portfolio. It is not yet decided how many Nscale shares will be sold and at what price. According to the Financial Times, Nscale plans to try to achieve a valuation of up to $35 billion, or around 330 billion kroner, when it goes public. Bloomberg News reports that the company wants to raise up to $3 billion before listing. Nscale will also be in talks with potential investors about raising an additional $3.5 billion in financing. Nscale develops data centers for artificial intelligence and has Nvidia and Microsoft as partners. The company has facilities in West Virginia and Texas and plans data center expansion in Narvik. Oslo Børs has, so far this quarter, performed better than global markets as a whole, with the Main Index up 11 percent. Chief strategist Nils Kristian Knudsen noted in a note that the investor picture is therefore divided: Oslo Børs can still outperform global markets if energy income and shipping rates remain high, but higher Norwegian interest rates and a stronger krone increase the gaps between sectors, according to the chief strategist. A possible rate cut by the Norges Bank on Thursday will support the krone exchange rate and banks, but \"could put further pressure on consumption, property and other interest-sensitive companies,\" Knudsen warns.",
