The ECB left rates at 1%, as expected

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday has kept the base interest rate at 1% per annum, the minimum value of the history of the ECB since 1999, reported Bloomberg.

This coincided with the expectations of analysts.

The last time the ECB changed its bid on May 7, whereas it was reduced by 0.25 percentage points to 1.25% per annum. Before that in 2009 it was reduced in March and January - in each case, 0.5 percentage points, and also in April - at 0.25 percentage points. In 2008 the rate fell three times - from 4.25% in July to 2,5% per annum at the end of the year.

rate in the euro area remains the highest among the G7.

ECB is in no hurry to turn off measures to stimulate the economy, since it only began to show signs of recovery after the worst recession since the Second World War. Too rapid tightening of monetary policy may cause to stop this process.

As expected, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet at a press conference, which will begin at 16:30 IST, announce a new economic forecast.

In June, the Bank expected that Eurozone GDP will fall by about 4.6% up this year and 0,3% next year. According to analysts, Trichet will speak with more optimistic estimates, and announce the expected growth of the region's economy in 2010.

Bank of England, the Federal Reserve System (FRS) and the Bank of Japan lowered the basic interest rates to near zero levels and began to buy government and corporate bonds, seeking to push the economy to grow. Click to continue »

The main idea in the market today were shares of Sberbank, the speculative activity that seems to have flowed from the telecommunications sector

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Tomorrow will probably rally on the shares of the Savings Bank will continue

In the stock market situation has improved. As leaders of growth equities of oil and gas sector (1,67% RTS index on branch), the financial sector (1,95% RTS index on the branch). This serious positive news market is not received. The dynamics of the commodity market remains weak, Brent crude fell below $ 68 bet the ECB left at the current level, its level is seen as quite acceptable. In the context of the comments made J. Trichet to raise the forecast European growth rate change, indeed, seen yet premature. Statistics on applications for unemployment in the U.S. for the week also sprung a surprise. The number of applications remained at current levels, reaching 570 thousand, with expectations of 565 thousand

Note that a negative factor for the stock market is the continuing volatility in the currency market, namely, the consistent weakening of the ruble, continued for almost a week. At the same time a week earlier, on 28 August, the Bank of Russia recorded the increase in gold reserves at 6.6 billion dollars is likely that the current week for the Central Bank will not be so successful.

The main idea in the market today were shares of Sberbank, speculative activity which seems to have flowed from the telecommunications sector. Paper rose by 17:30 Moscow time for 6,46% to the closing of the previous day. Based on the lack of significant ideas and news on the market rally in the papers BEAC, is likely to continue. We also note that Russia's market undervalued compared with EM is about 30-40%, which also supports a separate positive on the market.

Support for many of Russia's securities, primarily the banking sector may have a weakening of the dollar

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Day technical rebound

While the world markets the main concern comes from the region of Southeast Asia and, more specifically - from China, the financial authorities who yesterday sent a number of large enterprises provisions authorizing not to execute contracts for transactions with derivatives in the OTC markets for raw materials from a high risk of such operations. While these risks are not realized, but the tension continues. Support for many of Russia's securities, particularly the banking sector may have a weakening dollar. Savings Bank yesterday and both looked better than the market that some analysts attribute of a major investor in America, actively reducing the credit risk on CDS Savings Bank. The situation in the commodity sectors is seen neutral, can jump the most volatile securities, which yesterday suffered more from the vendors. During the day the markets will influence the index of activity in the eurozone and Britain, and retail sales for July, the ECB has now decided on a rate (of interest will be comments of financial powers of Europe). On the U.S. market closed trading on Wednesday, leading indexes lower on the background of macroeconomic news, since the data of the Ministry of Commerce, under which the volume of industrial orders in the U.S. in July grew by 1.3% compared to the previous month and amounted to $ 355.46 billion in waiting growth on 2,3%, not pleased investors. Rate for June was revised upward. As it turned out, it has increased by 0,9%, ze by 0,4%, as previously reported.

little better than the market adopted the report of U.S. Department of Labor on the labor productivity of the II quarter of 2009, the first year, as seasonally adjusted figure rose by 6,5% compared with the previous quarter. Note that while the economy as a whole, except for agricultural industries, labor productivity rose in quarterly terms by 6,6%, and annual - on 1,9%, which was better represented earlier in August, preliminary data, the estimated increase productivity by 6,3%.

As a result of trades rose noticeably securities of companies whose profitability depends substantially on the state of the U.S. economy. 1,1% subsided paper multi-industrial conglomerate General Electric and the action of one of the world's largest media companies Walt Disney. In the minus-up and shares were trading companies of the financial sector. Equity Wells Fargo Bank on the basis of trades dipped 0.5%, although that appears on the eve of the information that the bank is going to do a return borrowed during the peak of the crisis of public funds without resorting to such harmful for his quotation process, as additional issue of shares. At 1,9% and 1,3% respectively on the basis of trades sunk shares of banks JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley. More optimistic trading ended for the gold-mining companies, helped by the rising gold prices. In particular, at 9.3% in the increase in prices of trades in shares of major U.S. companies that profile Newmont Mining Co.

The oil futures market quotations Light Sweet and Brent continued to fall yesterday, dropping below the level of $ 68 a barrel. Also yesterday, the eve of release of official data on the U.S. Department of Energy stockpiles of crude oil and derivatives of energy at the end of August, the oil market did not take any active action. Among the active factors affecting the oil market, it should be noted decrease in share indexes on European exchanges that were neskolkoskompensirovano depreciation of the dollar in the currency market Forex.

Oil prices initially rose after the U.S. Department of Energy data showed a reduction in oil reserves in the U.S. last week to 400 000 barrels, as well as more significant than expected, reducing gasoline inventories. Inventories of the fuel fell by 3 million barrels. Generally, oil and gasoline rose for most of the year, as demand remained weak because of economic recession, but in August, stocks began to decline. Nevertheless, demand continues to be universally low, even in spite of the fact that demand for gasoline has increased over the latest reporting week. Americans in recent years make less use of cars after a weekend on the occasion of Labor Day, which reduces the importance of gasoline for the price of oil.

Today in Russia the market after a positive opening, we expect slight movement upwards during the day, having the nature of a technical rebound. Especially active are banking and telecommunications securities.

America

Generally, global stock markets haunting specter of a possible bankruptcy of a large financial institution or even an entire country (mostly of course means someone from Eastern Europe). But if the problem of half a thousand small and medium-sized U.S. banks like nobody cares, then the financial problems of only one large player can seriously affect the emotions, even when that is no sane regulator will not allow the repetition of the history of Lehman Brothers. And another important point: while the government officials might and main assure the public that the hardest part is over, government aid programs have been slow to clot. Moreover, once the government goes with my money, the problem immediately returned.

raw materials, currency and so on

industrial metals on the auctions in London continued to decline. Click to continue »
