Why does Google Finance shows yesterday's OMXS30 data as real-time (in Sweden)?

Yesterday the index fallen 4% and at first I thought it's falling today as well.

https://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXNASDAQ:OMXS30

If I google for "omxs30" then I see real-time value "OMX Stockholm 30 INDEXNASDAQ: OMXS30 - 9 Feb 08:11 GMT-5"...

Probably a stale cache somewhere...perhaps your browser or a CDN.

The data changes real-time, but I guess they use some older reference point to calc % change so Google Finance shows -5% while Yahoo Finance shows -1%.

Edit: the absolute value is actually correct, it's the reference change that scared me.
