Ukrainian equities moved back into positive territory on Thursday (Mar 28) after a six-day slide and a generally rough month of March that had seen the main local benchmark fall by 14% before yesterday’s rebound. Externally, the S&P 500 finally broke through its all-time high of 1566 points (set in October 2007) after two months of flirtation. The UX index added a solid 2.3% to close at 915 points. Blue chip issues CentrEnergo (CEEN), Alchevsk Steel (ALMK), and Azovstal (AZST) all gained about 3.5%, Avdyivka Coke (AVDK) rose by 2.1% to UAH 3.11, and volume leader Motor Sich (MSICH) picked up 2.0% on turnover of UAH 9.6mn. However, top banking name Raiffeisen Aval (BAVL) was left in the dust, losing 1.1% to 9.62 kopecks. Outside the UX basket, Stirol (STIR) backtracked on its strong performance from the previous session, sliding 4.3%, while Pokrovske Mine (SHCHZ) added 4.6% on low volume.
In London, MHP (MHPC LI) regained most its Wednesday loss with a 4.1% jump, while in Warsaw, top Ukrainian sugar producer Astarta (AST PW) edged up 0.8% to PLN 61.
