Ukrainian equities spent most of Thursday (Apr 11) near the breakeven line, with the UX index closing virtually unchanged at 819 points. Meanwhile, the major global indices rose again, although not by nearly as much as on Wednesday, as the Bank of Japan’s recent “shock-and-awe” announcement on monetary stimulus continued to drive risk appetite higher. Locally, Raiffeisen Aval was the day’s bright spot, adding 1.5% to just below 10 kopecks, and DonbasEnergo and ISD-controlled Alchevsk Steel picked up 0.6% and 0.9% respectively. On the downside, UkrNafta slumped to a new 4-year low of UAH 112 with a 2.1% drop, and volume leader Motor Sich traded below the UAH 2000 level for the first time in 2013, edging lower by 0.4%. Outside the UX basket, iron ore miner Pivnichny GOK regained its loss from the previous session with a 5.7% jump on strong turnover of UAH 4.2mn, but its sister company Centralny GOK fell again, this time by 4.1% to UAH 6.42.
In London, Regal Petroleum followed its Ukrainian peer JKX Oil & Gas lower, sliding 5.6% to GBp 21
