Ukrainian equities were a mixed bag on Tuesday (Apr 9), with a 1.5% gain in the UX index in early trading evaporating by the close to bring the local market back in line with largely flat European indices. The benchmark ended the session unchanged at 824 points. Yenakievo Steel (ENMZ) gave back all of its UX-leading Monday rise and then some, sliding 4.1%, while DonbasEnergo (DOEN) and Azovstal (AZST) fell 1.3% and 0.7% respectively. On the upside, Raiffeisen Aval (BAVL) remained in focus, adding 2.8% to 9.87 kopecks, and UkrNafta (UNAF) ended a seemingly eternal 16-session losing streak with a 2.1% pickup. In second tier issues, the big story was Khartsysk Pipe (HRTR), which plunged 24.6% after controlling shareholder Metinvest disappointed the market by refusing to pay out a dividend for FY12, in contrast to its generous dividend policy in previous years.
In London, JKX Oil & Gas (JKX) was down 7.8% to GBp 70.50, but it was quite the opposite situation for heavily-oversold Ferrexpo (FXPO), which broke out of its 2013 slump in a big way after announcing bullish first-quarter operational results; the stock shot up by 19.2% to end the day at GBp 185.
