Most Ukrainian stocks were lower on Tuesday (Apr 2), as local heavyweight CentrEnergo plunged for a second day following a fire that shut down one of its power plants, although metallurgy blue chips moved higher in line with positive external sentiments. The main European indices demonstrated strong gains, with the EU appearing to have finally put its worries over Cyprus in the rear-view mirror, and the DJI and S&P 500 both closed at fresh record highs on data showing an improving US economic picture. The UX index slid 3.0% to close at 818 points, dragged down by CentrEnergo’s 10.2% loss as well as disappointment over Motor Sich (-3.4%), which reported an FY12 net profit figure that was a whopping 19% below the preliminary number announced a month ago. Raiffeisen Aval also got hammered, falling 4.8% to 8.80 kopecks. On the upside, Avdyivka Coke and DonbasEnergo added 2.0% and 1.3% respectively. In second-tier issues, LuganskTeplovoz showed a burst of trading activity, dropping 7.7% to UAH 1.75, and Yasynivsky Coke retreated by 3.7%.
In London, Ferrexpo sold off by 4.5% to GBp 165, while JKX Oil & Gas gained 2.3% to GBp 77.50.
