Ukrainian equities were rather quiet on Thursday (Apr 3) in line with
the behavior of the headline global indices, with only the Nasdaq-100 (-0.9%)
showing any notable movement among the main bourses in the US and Europe. The UX
index declined by 1.1% to close at 1064 points, pulled down by a 3.8% correction
in high-flying Raiffeisen Aval, which remains up by double digits for the week.
Co-volume leaders Motor Sich and CentrEnergo moved in opposite directions, with
the former losing 1.1% and the latter rising by the same increment to UAH 5.45;
the issues registered turnover of UAH 3.2mn each. Outside the UX basket,
Slavutich Brewery, the local subsidiary of Carlsberg Group, saw some fairly
substantial trades at UAH 8.50, representing a 13.1% jump from its previously
listed price. Ukrainian names in London continued to have a quiet week, with MHP
and JKX Oil&Gas closing nearly unchanged and Ferrexpo edging up 1.1% to GBp
160.
