The beginning of the year for the Helsinki stock exchange was really abysmal – This is how the probabilities for the exchange rates to pick up look in the light of history

The return at the beginning of the year was low on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. It does not necessarily tell much about the development of the rest of the year, according to the long-term data collected by analyst Ari Rajala.

The return for the first quarter of 2024, measured by the OMXH Cap return index of the Helsinki Stock Exchange, was 0.3 percent. The return reached the positive side largely due to the reasonably good return in March. During March, the return index of the Helsinki Stock Exchange rose by 1.9 percent.
