As the global markets react to China's robust stimulus measures and European hopes for interest rate cuts, Sweden's recent decision to lower its policy rate has sparked renewed interest in its small-cap sector. With the Riksbank cutting rates and potentially setting the stage for further reductions, investors are keenly observing how these economic shifts might uncover promising opportunities in lesser-known Swedish stocks.
