If the world market will shake not fall in oil prices, you can count on the positive dynamics of Russian Quotes

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Oil not issue, America will not eat

Today external background again negative on the background of lower oil prices and Asian indices. However, if in the near future will shake the world markets is not a significant reduction in U.S. indices and the price of oil, you can count on the positive dynamics of prices. With oil prices around 70 $ /barrel. Russian market with cheap basic terms.

Gazprom Neft will publish consolidated financial results of the first quarter on June 18. Earlier, Rosneft and Lukoil gladdened market.

The share of Gazprom in the European market has declined in the first quarter to 16% in the summer of 2008 it reached 31%. However, even with all this negative Gazprom is very cheap on discounted cash flows and valuation multipliers. Perhaps, after the anticipated fall in prices the demand for Russian gas in Europe will increase.

The recommendations made by the Rosneft shareholders' meeting an amendment to the ordinance referred to the Council the right to approve the additional issue of up to 25%. The likelihood of new entry Rosneft to the capital market is very small. While the authorities might have painted a scheme transaction Rosneft - Surgut. Only about it until you know the market, or know only the chosen part of it.

North-West Telecom has published financial results of the first half of the International Accounting Standards. This is good news, because increases the transparency of business, however, benefit from reporting a bit. The company did not publish results for the same period a year earlier.

As laid Strategy, I see 2 version of events. Conservative, announced back in January, with a guide price Urals 41-45 $ /barrel and corridor index RTNs 900-1200 points. And more optimistic, based on the recent rally in commodity areas, and corridors 1300-1500 items on RTS index. Again, who do not want to risk - can safely sit out the summer in bonds, it is clear that only some companies believe that the debts of preference only cowards.

Against the background of the further strengthening of the dollar will increase the pressure sellers

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Against the backdrop of the overall weakness of global stock pads are not an exception, and the Russian stock market. MICEX Index has covered the bottom of the channel in May with the opening and growth fell below the zero yield on 20-day trading positions (indicator IAD-20-1111 on). Monthly sliding MA21 (1095) are also unable to provide adequate support. Pressure on the Russian stock market quotes provided as lower oil prices and the weakening of the ruble to a basket of currencies.

Investors sold shares on the reassessment of risks. A hand came not only shares, but most commodity assets (metals, oil). Especially the aggression on the part of vendors have not yet been observed. This can be seen from the relatively low turnover of index SP500, and our stock markets.

Index MICEX yesterday moved closer to the lower boundary of the channel growth (-1070 forth), originating from March this year. If the bears can not be immediately overcome this level (for a breakdown requires higher sales), we can expect short-term movement of the index back to the zone MA21/OVR-20 (1095/1111). However, we appreciate the situation as precarious. We believe that the further strengthening of the dollar against the pressure of sellers will increase, which ultimately lead to the breakdown of the March trend. Here we will see and increase in speed, and shorts. One of the goals of this correction - creating a pool of short-term short positions, due to the subsequent closure of which will unload long positions over the long-term players. In this regard, we expect by the end of the beginning of next week, reducing the volume indicator of short-term OBV-5 positions to zero, and then allow access to the area of negative values.

possible view to emerging technical correction may be closing gepa the morning of May 27, with the achievement of the MICEX index zone -1010/1040 p. We appreciate the movement as remedial, and look forward to a strong movement back in the final phase of the rally-2009
