0732 GMT - Nordic markets are seen opening little changed, with IG calling the OMXS30 flat at around 2617. Stock markets were positive Friday, ahead of Monday's change of baton at the White House and following a stream of interim reports, SEB analysts say in a note. Under Joe Biden's presidency, the S&P 500 rose an average 14.5% a year, and that could create difficulties for President Trump who is expected to measure his own economic-policy success against the stock market's development, SEB says. "Trump wants to keep the U.S. stock markets in a good mood." Asian stock markets are trading with some optimism today and European equity futures indicate a flat opening. U.S. stock markets are closed Monday. OMXS30 closed at 2617.41, OMXN40 at 2500.95 and OBX at 1411.17. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
