Locally-traded Ukrainian equities rose on Friday (Apr 19), bringing their performance for the week to just below breakeven on a day with no clear external trend. The UX index won some breathing room above the 800-point psychological support level, ending at 816 after a gain of 1.9%. Volume leader Motor Sich broke out of its long slump with a solid 2.9% pickup to UAH 2010, local banking favorite Raiffeisen Aval jumped 3.9% on turnover of UAH 1.9mn, and beaten-down state oil company UkrNafta added 4.7%. Power generator DonbasEnergo appreciated by 2.7%, while Metinvest’s Avdyivka Coke was the lone blue chip decliner, dropping 0.8%. The most active issue outside the UX basket was Yasynivsky Coke, which rose 2.5% to 58 kopecks.
London-listed issues were broadly higher, with Ferrexpo and MHP adding 3.3% and 4.6% respectively, but Kernel and Astarta both got hammered in Warsaw after the former posted moderately disappointing operational results for the Jan-Mar quarter; the issues each bled off more than 7%, finishing at PLN 49.40 and PLN 46.50 respectively.
