0746 GMT - Nordic markets are seen opening slightly higher with IG calling the OMXS30 up 0.3% at around 2901. Stock markets surged higher yesterday after President Trump reported productive talks with Iran and flagged a pause in attacks on energy and infrastructure for five days, SEB economist Pia Fromlet writes. However, some gains pared after Iran denied the talks. "Whether the crisis continues to escalate or if we have experienced another TACO [Trump Always Chickens Out] remains to be seen." Last night, there were reports of Iranian attacks on several countries. Most stock markets in Asia are higher, while futures in Europe and U.S. point lower. Danes head to the polls today in what is expected to be a close race in the Danish election, Fromlet adds. OMXS30 closed at 2892.19, OMXN40 at 2388.62 and OBX at 1901.00. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
