A steadier week in week 20 with less volatility. The LFEX Norwegian Exporters index was up +2.78%, +2.82 NOK to stand at 104.41 NOK FCA Oslo Week ending Thursday vs previous Thursday.

A shorter trading week with a big holiday in the middle. Although no one was sure of the direction last week, prices were maintained and overall crept up. The market opened down on Friday -2.28 NOK below 100 NOK level continuing the previous weeks falls, but this was the low of the week. Prices climbed consistently and over all picked up just over 5% from the low through to Thursday. Next week is another 4 day week and consensus points to a stable start to the week. A reduced harvest week and low volumes but no one is expecting much volatility this week. We’ll see.
