Ukrainian blue chips were mixed on Friday (Sept 6) in a rather tense day of trading, ahead of a hotly-anticipated US jobs report that ended up providing little clarity about whether the Federal Reserve might decide to reduce monetary stimulus at its Sept 17-18 meeting. Job creation for August came in slightly below expectations, but not by enough to assume that the Fed’s bond-buying program will remain intact until January. The UX index ended with a small gain of 0.2% after initially jumping on the jobs release at 3:30pm local time. Raiffeisen Aval and Yenakievo Steel both picked up 1.3%, and Motor Sich rebounded for a third straight session, adding 0.8% on turnover of UAH 6.6mn. On the downside, UkrSotsBank slid 4.2% to 12.45 kopecks. In Warsaw, Kernel gained 1.5%, while Astarta, which has cooled off after hitting a 2-year high above PLN 77 last month, fell by the same increment to PLN 64.
