Stock Market today. Oil prices growth and climbing at the major global markets provoked “boom” at the Russian share market. Primarily the activity of the players was concentrated on the shares of the oil sector: Gazprom and Rosneft were actively bought. Besides, Norilsk Nickel is still purchased rapidly. Total volumes at the RTS market grew 4 times versus the previous day.

Market tomorrow. The new week might start with correction at the share market. That might be supported by the reducing American markets. Besides, Meeting of OPEC members will be conducted Sunday, where the decision on reducing oil extraction by the states-participants of the cartel will be made. In case the market expectations are justified, oil prices might go down, and the Russian market headed by the shares of oil-and-gas shares would follow.

Bonds

Market yesterday. The purchases remained at the domestic market. Partially that was supported by the extremely cheap funding. So, REPO rates reduced to 9.5-10.5% annual interest. The quality notes of A1 list were bought (MGor-45, VTB-5, Gazprom-4, VTB24-01). Interest was indicated in the second echelon: SANOS-2, X5 Finance-1, Integra-2. Due to strengthening of the negative background around the company the quotes of RazgulyayF-4 slipped a lot. Another day in a row the high volumes were indicated in the second issue of United Confectionaries. In the ruble section of the Russian Eurobond market consumer boom was indicated on the bank bonds (VTB 2009, Bank of Moscow, Rosbank 2009, Ursa Bank 2009). At the same time there was no adequate offer on behalf of the sellers.

Market tomorrow. On Monday the market will likely continue growing. Despite the insignificant banks’ ruble remains with liquidity, likely things are good. Besides, lately various managing companies showed activity.
