Smugglers seek safety – News

Declining disappointments and downward forecasts helped to bring down just over seven percent of the OMXS index in October. On the international front, trade disputes between the United States and China have continued to haunt and small savers are now turning to other, more secure alternatives.

In reality, it's not a big change, but it's still interesting to see that more people are buying mutual funds than before, "said Alexander Gustafsson, a Nordnet contributor.
