Ukrainian stocks resumed their slide on Friday (Apr 5) after a 1-session reprieve, retreating in line with the bearish performances of the main European indices and, to a lesser extent, Wall Street. The UX index lost 1.6% to end the week at 813 points. CentrEnergo (CEEN) and UkrNafta (UNAF) both shed more than 3%, with the former closing below the UAH 4 level for the first time since the peak of the global financial crisis in the spring of 2009. The metallurgy triple A’s, Avdyivka (AVDK), Alchevsk (ALMK), and Azovstal (AZST), each fell by between 1% and 1.5%, while Motor Sich (MSICH) and Raiffeisen Aval (BAVL) were more resistant to the selling, edging down by 0.7% and 0.4% respectively on combined turnover of UAH 6.5mn. Outside the UX basket, LuganskTeplovoz (LTPL) managed a gain of 2.8% and Mariupol Heavy Machinery (MVZM) added 3.6%.
In London, Ukrainian issues sold off across the board; MHP (MHPC) was hit hardest with a 5.6% slide to USD 16.24, while Ferrexpo (FXPO) approached its post-2009 low, closing at GBp 155 after a 4.4% drop. The malaise did not extend to Warsaw, where top issues Kernel (KER) and Astarta (AST) were both essentially unchanged.
