Russian Stock Events - May 4, 2008
Filed Under Trader’s view |
Wednesday – prior week’s last business day brought an expected fall upon whole Russian stock market. As primary factor to push quotes down – was the upcoming long and “special” weekend in Russia. More to that, US Fed were expected to make decision regarding the base rate. Considering the fact that possible change would only be used this Sunday – market players chose to have their money in their pockets, to evade unexpected events.
RTS of Wednesday lost -0.19% and formed 2122.5 points. The top significant influence upon the indicator was demonstrated by stocks of metallurgy companies – Mechel (-10.87%), Uralkaly (-5.86%) and NLMK (-5.05%). Index resistance was supported by quotes of: LUKOIL (despite of -0.11% fall), Sberbank (+0.46%) and Gazprom (+0.23%).
Market’s turnover has formed 39.7% mn USD last Wednesday. While top volumes were achieved by stocks of Norilsk Nickel (7.9 mn USD), LUKOIL (7.7 mn USD) and UES (6.7 mn USD).
The growth touched most primary foreign market throughout long weekend in Russia. US Fed have decided to cut base rut down by another 0.25 p.p., during the meeting of April 30th, which was likely to trigger climb upwards over foreign grounds. We assume that today Russian stock market will enjoy this event and should rise over the day. Therefore we expect for RTS to add about +1% during Sunday.
