Meanwhile, the OMX Iceland All-Share Price Index (OMXIPI) is still in a long-term downtrend but possibly in a trend reversal process. The stock index has been underperforming the bond index since early 2022, as can be seen in the indicator in the lower window of the chart below. For a sustainable rise in OMXIPI, it needs to start doing better than the NOMXIBB by reversing the relative performance trend from down to up.
OMXIPI – Weekly Chart
