Experts call the main contenders for the purchase of Odessa port plant, Russian companies

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

experts call the main contenders for the purchase of a major producer of ammonia and ureaOdessa port plant (IPF, Odessa Oblast), Russian companies, especially Sibur Holding and Eurochem.

Among the possible candidates for IPF favorites are the largest Russian companies, especially - Sibur , - said a senior analyst of investment-financial group Socrates Dmitry Horoshun.

It also allowed more likely to participate in the competition, the largest European producers of nitrogen himudobreny, primarily Norwegian Yara International, as well as a consortium with the participation of almost all the major players on the Ukrainian market.

Horoshun added that if the group Privatbank decides not to participate in the competition, focusing on other industries (eg oil), it is doubtful that other Ukrainian players, even collectively can accumulate sufficient resources to qualify for IPF.

According to the Head of the Department of agribusiness and the chemical industry of the information-analytical center Gosvneshinform Dmitry Gordeychuk major favorites in the competition for the sale of AEs were Sibur and Eurochem, at the same time, the expert did not rule out the establishment to participate in the competition co - consortium with the participation of major European and Ukrainian manufacturers, such as Yara International and styrene (Cherkasy, Donetsk Oblast).

According to Dragon Capital Investment analyst Tamara Levchenko, Russian enterprises are most interested in buying the IPF as compared with the major European, and especially with the Ukrainian producers of nitrogen fertilizers.

If the largest Ukrainian financial-industrial groups are willing to buy the plant, for today, in the absence of external financial resources and unfavorable conditions in the chemical market, our companies are unlikely to participate in the competition, - said Levchenko. Click to continue »

The proximity of the majority of Russian shares to the strong resistance levels indicate the likelihood of downward correction

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

It is like zashortit neftyanku

euphoria reporting season continues to positively impact on the Russian stock market, which in today's session demonstrates a positive rally. The opening occurred with gepom up, bringing the MICEX index Breaks upper limit of the downstream channel, formed in early June, rushed to the resistance in the region of 930 points.

published today macroeconomic statistics as a whole was better than forecasts. In particular, promproizvodstvo in the United States in June fell by 0.4%, with forecasts for 0.6% decline. However, this fact did not cause the continuation of growth, and nowindexes topchutsya on the ground, waiting for the key statistics of the day - on oil and oil products. It should be noted that the risk transfer position for tomorrow is great, so I recommend to record profits and leave the cache before tomorrow's opening.

session tomorrow again pleased we yield macroeconomic statistics, in particular, would be interesting data on the number of applications for unemployment benefits, as well as the index of business activity in the United States. Waiting for results reporting, and JP Morgan Chase, Google and IBM also will increase the volatility within the day, so I recommend to use the speculative strategy. Start the session so far seems uncertain, since the movement in the States will be in the period after the closing of the trading in domestic markets. Recent data on manufacturing growth and consumer inflation threaten the growth rates in the near future. As we remember, a large-scale correction in the market as the time and was caused by rumors of a possible Federal Reserve rate increase, causing a rapid increase in the dollar and the correction in prices for raw materials.

growth during the trading session helped the situation on the commodity market where oil prices have once again returned to a level of $ 62 per barrel, which is reflected in the stock quotes of Russian oil and gas companies, which top the list of favorites. Before the start tomorrow's session will be published on promproizvodstvu in China, which also increase the volatility in commodity markets before the opening of the tenders. In the case of a sharp increase in promproizvodstva recommend closer to the shares of Russian metallurgists who enjoy good demand in London.

The demand for shares of the company observed in the western grounds: in London, ADRs for shares neftyanki grow strongly, in particular, ADRs for shares of Lukoil added 9.1%, to shares Rosneft - 8,85% . I think that pereprodannost the securities industry in recent weeks and the rebound in crude oil quotations contribute to the Western purchases. The volume on the MICEX, unfortunately, suggest speculative demand, so before leaving on oil and oil products to reduce the position to recommend that the Securities oil, since the probability of fixation of speculative profits.

The proximity of the majority of the shares to the powerful resistance also shows the probability of technical correction to bottom, so you can open the short and catch a couple of percent, and in case of negative data on it and move on tomorrow's session. Resistance to the shares of Gazprom is a 10-day moving in the vicinity of 143 rubles., For shares in Rosneft - 21-day moving in the vicinity of 168 rubles.

Strengthening of the ruble led to a sizeable reduction in imputed returns NDF

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Devalvatsionnye expectations promptly left

Passions in the foreign exchange market yesterday subsided: bivalyutnoy basket price fell to 38 rubles (minus 65 cents). Reason can be called a nominal rise of oil (1.5%). In fact, according to our feelings, just a critical mass of investors aware of the fact that oil prices near $ 60 a barrel provide a very comfortable balance of payments surplus of Russia, given that the bulk of the external debt of corporations and banks successfully refinansiruetsya. Strengthening of the ruble led to a sizeable reduction in imputed returns NDF.

Vympelcom placed

The situation in the debt market yesterday developed into a very positive way: the most liquid bond quotations of 1-st and 2 nd levels had grown up by around 10-20bp. At an auction on placement of release VimpelCom-3 yields to a two-year offer at 15.78%. Coupon rate, as we had expected to be less than the lower limit reference point (15.2% vs 15.5%). Perhaps due to this last quotation had grown up close to the release of MTS Duration-4 (YTP 14.97%, 30bp). Over time, we believe, spread between the releases of MTS and Vympelcom may disappear entirely. Also yesterday, were announced guidelines for the exchange rate of the coupon bond Dalsvyaz (1.5 billion rubles., Offer 2-year, 15.5-16.0%).

LSR-2

We want to draw attention to the Issue Group LSR-2, which was offered yesterday with a yield at 35.6%. In our view, it looks undervalued relative to little more than short-LSR-Invest-2, which yesterday was a relatively big We with the yield 33.6%. In contrast to LSR-Invest, 2 LSR-bond Group 2 included in the list of repo CB, that makes them otnositelnuyunedootsenennost. By the way, tomorrow will offer to issue LSR-Invest-1. Judging by the fact that the day before he was traded at a price higher than 99pp issuer cope with their commitments on time and in full. If successful, the offer account for the remaining two papers LSR surely increase, both by investors and by the borrower #9786;. Recall that only recently became aware of the attraction of building a group of LSR is very large and long credits from the state bank - VEBa and RSHB (collectively nearly 480 million, from 3 to 10 years).
