Centre-left bloc leads Swedish elections – as it happened

A centre-left bloc has emerged as the leading force in Swedish elections. This outcome means that the far-right Sweden Democrats, who have been gaining popularity, may not have a significant role in the government. The centre-left bloc's success is significant for markets and trade as it suggests a continuation of Sweden's existing economic policies, which have been relatively stable and pro-business. This stability could be beneficial for investors and the economy.

Why it matters

The Swedish election result is not expected to have a significant impact on markets. The centre-left bloc's lead is seen as a continuation of the current political landscape.
