In the early trading session on the MICEX on Thursday, possibly mixed traffic quotations leading securities

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

We are waiting for another boring auction to 16.30

Yesterday, U.S. stock indices, despite a good start, finished the day in the zone of moderate decline. Their losses were within 0.4%. In the economic survey released yesterday by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Veige book) market only heard what they wanted: the pace of economic recession may slow down in about half of the 12 Fed districts. Negative on the Exchange has a weak result of the auction on placement of a 10-year Treasury bonds. Against the backdrop of growing inflationary sentiment, returns these gosbumag yesterday reached 4%, while still in mid-March it was at 2.5%. The rapid rise in the prices of black gold warms only the pockets of speculators and oil stocks of oil companies. Nevertheless, the high prices, pose a threat to economic recovery, creating undue inflationary pressures now.

the reduction of oil reserves in the United States last week at 4.4 million barrels. as well as the growth in demand for gasoline, the price of Brent crude oil on Thursday morning reached the mark of $ 71.5 per barrel., for the first time in more than 7 months. Today in Asia and the Pacific Exchange noted divergent dynamics of motion near zero quotation marks. U.S. futures indices traded in a small area of growth: SP 0,43%.

In the early trading session on the MICEX on Thursday, we are waiting for a mixed traffic quotations leading securities. Obviously, the better the market today should feel like the paper oil and gas and mining companies. However, given that for the past week in the most liquid shares almost no active shopping, I think it makes sense to continue to look for interesting trading ideas in the second tier securities. Here we point out the shares of WGC-1-2, TGC, Transneft and regional telecom. Our stock market this afternoon, once again has all chances to trade above the zero mark. Only 16-30 in the course of the trading can make serious adjustments to data on retail sales in the United States. Happy waiting for the publication of the CMI financial statements under IFRS for the I quarter of 2009.
