Ukrainian blue chips ended higher on Monday (Apr 29) in line with the major global indices, thanks to an afternoon turnaround that saw the UX index swing by nearly 3% intraday. Externally, the Paris CAC jumped by 1.5%, and the S&P 500 remained within a whisker of its all-time high on positive US housing numbers and expectations of continued central bank stimulus policies. The local UX benchmark closed at 815 points, a rise of 1.0%. DonbasEnergo (DOEN), Ukraine’s next likely big-ticket privatization object, led the advance, picking up 2.7% to UAH 20.05, and Alchevsk Steel (ALMK) rebounded from a rough Friday by gaining 1.9%. Metinvest-controlled steelmakers Yenakievo (ENMZ) and Azovstal (AZST) added 1.5% and 0.7% respectively, but Avdyivka Coke (AVDK) failed to make the cut, slipping 0.6% to finish as the only blue chip decliner. Among second-tier issues, Krukiv Wagon (KVBZ) posted a loss of 4.0% to UAH 24.00.
In London, oil&gas names JKX (JKX LN) and Cadogan (CAD LN) edged up by 0.7% and 1.8% respectively.
