The Oslo Stock Exchange opened in positive territory on Wednesday, with the main index up 0.58% at the start of trading.
The lift in sentiment was driven by Equinor, which reported its strongest quarterly results in three years for the second quarter.
The energy giant’s performance provided a key anchor for the market, offsetting broader caution.
Brent crude spot prices were trading at $93.17 per barrel at the open, holding steady at levels seen in recent sessions.
The stability in oil prices helped support the energy sector, which remains a heavyweight on the Oslo exchange.
Traders are closely watching how the positive opening momentum translates into sustained buying interest throughout the day, particularly for energy and industrial stocks.
