Big week on Oslo Børs: Frontline fell 18 percent, Norwegian rose 15 percent
Published
The week on Oslo Børs was marked by large price movements. Shares in the airline Norwegian rose 15 percent during the week. At the same time, many oil and shipping stocks had a weak period.
Shares in Frontline, a shipping company, fell 18 percent. Other oil and shipping companies also saw sharp price declines. The oil and shipping industry is important for Norway, and developments in these companies therefore attract considerable attention among investors and in the economy.
The opposite development occurred in the airline sector. Norwegian's share price rose clearly, and the company was one of the most prominent winners on the exchange this week. The price trends show that different industries on Oslo Børs can move in completely different directions at the same time.
The sources do not explain in detail what led to the large price movements. Nevertheless, investors will closely follow developments in the coming weeks, particularly in the oil and shipping sector.
