Ukrainian stocks missed out on the big gains posted by the main European and US indices on Wednesday (Apr 10) after the IMF concluded yet another visit to Kyiv without announcing a new standby loan package for Ukraine, as the two-year-long stalemate between the two sides over domestic energy subsidies showed no sign of resolution. The UX index lost 0.6% to close at 820 points on a day when Germany’s DAX jumped by 2.3% and the S&P 500 set another all-time high on burgeoning risk appetite in developed markets. Top liquid issue Motor Sich was the biggest local loser, sliding 1.5% to UAH 2008, while DonbasEnergo and Raiffeisen Aval dipped by 1.0% and 0.7% respectively. Other blue chips were down by less than half a percent, and Yenakievo Steel continued its topsy-turvy week with a 1.2% rise. In second-tier names, Metinvest-controlled Pivnichny GOK and Centralny GOK were both hit by concerns of a worse-than-expected dividend declaration at next week’s annual meetings, and slumped by 6.1% and 5.0% respectively.
