Ukrainian equities clawed back most of their intraday losses to finish marginally lower on Tuesday (Apr 16) in line with European shares. In the US, markets rebounded from their Monday selloff after it was reported that US consumer prices fell in March, a sign that the Federal Reserve’s monetary creation policy has not yet stoked inflation. The UX index was down 2.5% in the morning but finished with a drop of just 0.4%, closing just above the 800-point support level. Top liquid issue CentrEnergo (CEEN) was the main drag on the benchmark, falling 2.0% to UAH 3.89 on turnover of UAH 2.1mn, and Raiffeisen Aval (BAVL) shed 1.4%. The metallurgy sector notably outperformed the rest of the local blue chips, with the Metinvest-controlled trio of Avdyivka Coke (AVDK), Azovstal (AZST) and Yenakievo Steel (ENMZ) edging higher by 0.4%, 0.5% and 0.7% respectively. Outside the UX basket, another Metinvest name, Khartsysk Pipe (HRTR), slid 3.8% to 51 kopecks.
In London, Ferrexpo (FXPO) bounced back from its Monday drop with a 3.9% gain, while JKX Oil & Gas (JKX) slipped 1.4% to GBp 69.25.
