11 March 2014: Uncertainty Concerning Ukraine Presses On The Markets

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


Yesterday's trading day, the opening of the week, was negative for the markets, and the main stock indices of the world closed the day in negative territory. The main negative factor in the market is the unstable situation in Ukraine, which increases uncertainty in the markets. Additionally, macroeconomic statistical data from Japan and China also disappointed investors.

Export volumes in China fell in February by 18,1%, while analysts expected an increase of 6,8%, after the increase for 10,6% in January. Deficiency of trade balance, in turn, reached $22,98 billion in comparison with a surplus of $31,86 billion recorded in January. Data from Japan also appeared to be disappointing. Gross domestic product of the country in the fourth quarter grew, according to final data, by 0,2%, whereas analysts predicted the indicator to increase by 0,3%.

As a result, the European stock indices closed the trading session in the red zone. The index of Great Britain, the FTSE 100, went down by 0,4%, the French CAC 40 added 0,1%, and the German DAX went to a minus by 0,9%. The regional STXE 600 indicator, in turn, decreased by 0,5% and was closed on a level of 331,4 points.

American indices, following the results of the trading session, also decreased in value. The indicator of blue chips, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index, lost 0,21% and was closed on a level of 16418,68 points. The index of the wide market S&P 500 went to a minus by 0,05% to the level of 1877,17 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, decreased by 0,04%, reaching a level of 4334,45 points.

The situation seems to be a bit more positive on the commodities market, where Brent and WTI are adding just a bit more than 0,25%, traded on levels of 107,80$ and 100,85$ per barrel accordingly. Gold grows by 0,42%, bargaining next to the level of 1347,09$ per troy ounce. Silver is up by 0,55% on a level of 21,02$ per troy ounce.

12 March 2014: The Negative Statistics And Nervousness Concerning Ukraine, Still Presses On The Markets

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


The markets seem to be stiffened with expectations or fears due to the pressure from various events, and seem unable to find the opportunity to find ground for movement in one direction or another. The Ukrainian factor still puts pressure upon world platforms. Victor Yanukovych speech, which took place yesterday, did not become a sensation, but, at the same time, did not minimize uncertainty in the markets. The international disputes on the legitimacy of occurring events remain in the spotlight. In the meantime, the process of separation of Crimea continues to develop. Yesterday, the Supreme Council of the autonomy adopted the declaration of independence of the republic.

Published macroeconomic statistics in the Eurozone also disappointed investors. Growth of industrial production of Great Britain in January made 0.1% for the month and 2,9% for the year, when analysts were predicting 0,2% and 3,0% respectively. At the same time, the surplus of the trade balance of Germany was reduced in January from 18,3 billion euro a month earlier, to 17,2 billion euro, which was worse than market expectations of 17,7 billion euro.

As a result, the trading session in Europe finished with the British FTSE 100 falling by 0,06%, the French CAC 40 by 0,48%, and the German DAX increasing by 0,46%. The regional STXE 600 indicator increased, in turn, by less than 0,1%, having closed on a mark of 337,28 points.

The attention of investors was also drawn towards the statistics from China, where the export in the country was reduced in February by 18%, which warmed up fears concerning the rates of its economic growth. This news pushed the American indices to go down, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average index weakened by 0,41%, closing on a level of 16351,25 points. The index of the wide market, S&P 500, went to a minus by 0,51% to the level of 1867,63 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, fell by 0,63% to a level of 4307,19 points.

Reuters reports that the Chinese Central Bank could, for the first time since 2012, reduce norms of reservation for banks, if rates of economic growth will fall lower than 7,5%. The following big block of statistics from China is expected tomorrow - data on retails and industrial production for February.

17 March 2014: The Majority Of The Population Of Crimea Voted For Accession To Russia

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


The question concerning Crimea still remains on the agenda. According to the preliminary results of the referendum, which already passed in Crimea, nearly 96% of the voters who took part in the plebiscite about the status of Crimea, voted for entry of an autonomy within the structure of Russia. However, official authorities of Ukraine, and also leaders of many foreign states, (OSCE and other international organizations) are considering that the referendum has gone against the constitution of the country. However, Russia considers it legitimate.

On the eve of this referendum, the key stock indices of Europe finished the trading session in the red zone. Following the results of the trading session on Friday, the key index of Great Britain, FTSE 100, went down by 0,4%. The French CAC 40 lost 0,8% and the German DAX went to plus by 0,43%. The regional STXE 600 indicator, in turn, decreased by 0,7% and was closed on a level of 322,23 points. This morning, DAX and CAC 40 are up by 0,64%, FTSE 100 is adding 0,41%.

The remaining situation is also having an effect on the commodities market, where precious metals are increasing in price. Gold is up by 0,06%, and platinum grows by 0,44%, traded on the levels of 1379,80$ and 1476,10$ per troy ounce accordingly. Silver is down by just 0,02% on a level of 21,41$ per troy ounce.

Prices of oil, in the meantime, are falling. Brent is down by 0,50% on a price of 107,67$ per barrel, and WTI is losing 0,21% on a level of 98,35$ per barrel.

From macroeconomic statistics today, attention should be paid to data on the Eurozone’s consumer price index for February. Growth of the indicator could calm the markets slightly, after the statements the head of the European Central Banks made last week.

18 March 2014: The First Sanctions Against Russia Have Only Political Character

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has signed the decree regarding the recognition of the Republic of Crimea. This news is not really positive for world platforms, but didn't affect the markets very negatively after all, as sanctions taken by various countries were rather soft. During the meeting that took place yesterday, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the European Union introduced visa and financial restrictions for 13 Russian, and 8 Crimean officials.

In turn, the situation on the American platforms was also supported by the publication of strong statistics on industrial production in the country, which, in February, grew by 0,6% showing the maximum growth in six months. The restoration of economic activity of the USA after the cold winter brings optimism and inspires investors. The Dow Jones index grew by 1,13% to the level of 16247,22 points, NASDAQ added 0,81% and reached a level of 4279,95 points, and S&P 500 appeared in the plus by 0,96% finishing the trading day on the level of 1858,83 points.

The stock exchanges of the Asian Pacific Region are also bargaining in the green zone this morning, mainly due to the news of the soft sanctions taken against Russia by the EU and the USA. The Japanese Nikkei index grew by 0,94% so far, the Chinese Shanghai Composite by 0,08%, the Korean KOSPI added 0,91%, and the Hong Kong HANG SENG appeared in the plus by 0,48%.

Stabilization of the geopolitical situation affected the commodities market and is pushing the price of commodities to go down. Brent adds 0,24% and dropped to the level of 106,50$ per barrel, and WTI is increasing by 0,14% and is traded on a level of 97,76$ per barrel. Gold and silver are losing 0,87% and 1,03% accordingly, traded on prices of 1361,00$ and 21,06$ per troy ounce.

Now, the main question remains to be the risk of escalation of the situation in other territories of Ukraine. The insignificance of the sanctions declared yesterday by the US and the European Union could either testify to their unwillingness to break economic relations with Russia, or could be reflecting the sluggishness of the western bureaucracy.

19 March 2014: Attention Of Investors Will Shift From Ukraine To The FED Meeting

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


On Tuesday, the main stock indices of Europe and the United States showed positive dynamics after the speech of the president of the Russian Federation concerning the developing geopolitical situation. In his speech, Vladimir Putin discussed the admission of Crimea as part of the Russian Federation, and also added that Russia is not intending to divide Ukraine.

Published macroeconomic statistics in the region were quite different, trade balance of the Eurozone showed a surplus and made 0,9 billion euro in January, in comparison with 13,8 billion euro a month earlier. In the meantime, the index of economic expectations of investors of ZEW of Germany for March, decreased to 46,6 points from 55,7 points a month earlier.

As a result, the index of Great Britain, the FTSE 100, increased by 0,6%, the French CAC 40 added 1%, and the German DAX went into the plus by 0,7%. The regional STXE 600 indicator, in turn, increased by 0,6% and was closed on a level of 327,93 points.

Statistical data in America also didn't show any considerable changes and did not disappoint investors. Inflation of the USA in February made 0,1%, which fully coincided with forecasts and with January values. The number of constructions of houses (following the results of February) made 0,907 million which was also close to the forecast of 0,910 million.

So, following the results of the trading session, the indicator of blue chips, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index, raised by 0,55% to the level of 16336,19 points, the index of the wide market, Standard & Poor's 500, increased by 0,72% and reached the level of 1872,25 points, and the index of high-tech industries, Nasdaq Composite, went into the plus by 1,25% and reached a level of 4333,31 points.

Today, the attention of investors could move from geopolitical questions to monetary. It is expected that the FED will reduce the program of repayment of assets by another 10 billion dollars to $55 billion so far, and also that target reference points could be reconsidered. Earlier it was thought that the policy of 'cheap money' will end when unemployment in the US reached 6,5%. It has already reached 6,7%, but on the whole, the situation on the labor market in the country is far from ideal.

20 March 2014: Markets Reacted Negatively To Results Of FED Meeting

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


Yesterday we witnessed a rather interesting and emotional day, filled with important events. At present, the best idea is to try to digest all the news in order to take correct decisions.

Problems between Ukraine and Russia still remain on the agenda, but nevertheless are developing rather quietly and are not having a significant effect on the markets as yet. The acting president of Ukraine, Oleksandr Turchynov, presented the parliament a declaration about the "Fight for Liberation of Ukraine". According to the document, "Crimea was, is and will be a part of Ukraine". Also it was stated that: "The Ukrainian people will never, under no circumstances, stop the fight for liberation of Crimea from invaders, as heavy and as long as it shall be".

Also, the government of Ukraine made the decision to begin to exit from the CIS. Besides that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine received an order to enter a visa regime with the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, news regarding further sanctions concerning Russia continue to arrive. The leadership of Switzerland suspended negotiations on free trade zone creation with the Customs Union (CU) of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The government of Germany stopped cooperation in the military sphere between the German defence technology producer 'Rheinmetall AG' and Russia.

One more event which was in investors sights and pushed indices to finish the trading session in the red zone, was the annual meeting of the FED. The FED reconsidered the policy, and Janet Yellen reported at her press conference that the program of quantitative mitigation, will most likely be complete in autumn. By the end of 2015, the key interest rate could rise to 1%, and in a year could increase up to 2,25%. Thus, according to her, before the first increase of the interest rate, a considerable amount of time will pass - "half a year or about that".

As a result, the indicator of blue chips, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index, lost 0,70% and went to the level of 16222,17 points, the index of the wide market, S&P 500, decreased by 0,61% to the level of 1860,77 points, and the index of hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, fell by 0,59% reaching the level of 4307,60 points.

Prices of commodities continue to fall. Brent and WTI are adding just 0,10% and are traded on levels of 105,96$ and 99,27$ accordingly. Gold is losing 0,70%, and fell down to the level of 1331,89$ per troy ounce. Silver is decreasing by 1,08% and is traded on a price of 20,60$ per troy ounce.

21 March 2014: Introduction Of Sanctions Against Russia Continue To Increase

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


Yesterday, the main stock indices of the United States of America finished the trading session in the green territory due to the publications of positive statistical data. This brought optimism to the markets and allowed investors to temporarily forget about the statements of the FED concerning the possible increase of interest rates earlier than planned.

According to the presented data, the number of primary requests for unemployment benefits made 320 thousand, which appeared to be above the previous value of 315 thousand for the last week, however, it was better than market forecasts of 325 thousand. Meanwhile, the index of business activity of the FED of Philadelphia increased from minus 6,3 points in February to 9,0 points in March, whereas analysts expected only 3,8 points. At last, sales of houses in the secondary market made 4,6 million which coincided with average expectations of the market in February.

Following the results of the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index increased by 0,67% and was closed on a level of 16331,05 points, the index of the wide market S&P 500 went into plus by 0,60% to the level of 1872,01 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, added 0,27% and reached the level of 4319,29 points.

Today, the markets, and especially the Russian market, are going to be pushed down by the statements made by the U.S. President, Barack Obama, who signed the decree about the possibility of introduction of sanctions in relation to key sectors of the economy of Russia. Besides that, he has declared an extension of the list of the Russian officials falling under actions of visa and financial sanctions.

Among other interesting events and news, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament reached an agreement on the creation of the Bank union. An agency which is going to concentrate on closing unprofitable banks is going to be created. According to the arrangement, credit institutions of the European Union will pay an obligatory amount, which is going to be collected in the special reserve fund, who's volume will make 55 billion euro within the next eight years. Money from this fund will be allocated for the help or closing of unprofitable banks.

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


Trading session on Monday, generally took place under pressure of published statistical data, which in Europe and in the U.S. disappointed participants of the markets.

Preliminary data on an index of business activity in the industrial and services sectors of Germany for March made 53,8 and 54 points respectively, in comparison with 54,8 and 55,9 points in February. Meanwhile, similar indicators of the Eurozone made 53,0 and 52,4 points respectively, whereas a month earlier values were at the levels of 53,2 and 52,6 points.

PMI index in the USA, counted by research group MarkIt decreased in March up to 55,5 points from 57,1 points in February, reflecting delay of growth rates of business activity in the industry of the USA.

American session continues fall of the European indexes and the indicator of blue chips, Dow Jones Industrial Average went down on 0,16% up to the level of 16276,69 points, the index of the wide market Standard & Poor's 500 decreased by 0,49% and reached level of 1857,44 points, and the index of high-tech industries of Nasdaq Composite went to a minus on 1,18% and reached a level of 4226,39 points.

World stock markets are still influenced and endure a stress from political opposition of Russia and the countries of Europe and the USA. Yesterday the Big Seven at meeting in the Hague made the decision, that the summit of G8 planned earlier in Sochi will take place in Brussels in the G7 format, without participation of Russia. The decision is made in connection with a situation around Ukraine and will be in force until the Russian side will not change the policy concerning Ukraine and the Crimea.

This week the special attention will be paid to statistics, in particular, to influence of bad weather on statistics. In case, if not a snowfalls in the USA were the reason of weak indicators, and weakening of economy - markets will receive more negative news.

By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


Yesterday, the stock market of the United States finished the trading session with a moderate growth of the main indices for the first time in the last 3 days. In general, the growth of the indices was promoted by the publication of positive statistical data.

27 March 2014: The European indices seems more confident than the American ones

DAILY MARKET REVIEWS
By Kristina Leonova: Analyst in Portfolio Asset Management Department.


The situation in the stock markets is developing quite ambiguously. Opposition between Russia, the US, and Europe, still puts pressure upon the markets. Additionally, published statistical data didn't show uniform dynamics. Moreover, European leaders already began to manipulate information to put pressure upon the European currency and to contain its further growth.

Yesterday, the stock market of the United States finished the trading session with a moderate decrease. Orders for goods of long use in February increased by 2,2%, which appeared to be significantly higher than forecasts, which assumed a growth of only 1%. At the same time, January’s indicator was reconsidered towards a fall from minus 1,0% to minus 1,3%.

The fall of the indices was also promoted by the statements of the U.S. President in Brussels. Obama stated that the actions of Russia deserve general condemnation, and that the situation in Ukraine could become worse. As a result, the indicator of blue chips, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, went down by 0,60% to the level of 16268,99 points, the index of the wide market, Standard & Poor's 500, decreased by 0,70% and reached a level of 1852,56 points, and the index of high-tech industries, Nasdaq Composite, went to a minus by 1,43% and dropped down to the level of 4173,58 points.

The European trading session, which took place before the American one, was much more successful. The British FTSE 100 rose by 0,01%, the French CAC 40 increased by 0,94%, and the German DAX went into plus on 1,18%. The regional STXE 600 indicator increased, in turn, by 0,7% and was closed on a level of 330,93 points.

Today, we are going to have quite an informative day. Retail sales of Germany and Great Britain for February are going to be published in the first part of the day. In the evening, final data on gross domestic product for the fourth quarter, and primary requests for unemployment benefits are going to be presented as well.
