Experts: IMF may delay the allocation of Ukraine 4 th tranche stand-by credit and to cease further funding

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Ukraine received the next tranche of the loan of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is likely to be delayed, but getting the fifth tranche is unlikely, say experts interviewed.

The decision to grant the next tranche of the IMF will adopt at the end of September - early October. Before that time, the Government will not make real steps to meet its obligations to the Fund, it is likely to be talking about the delay in obtaining the fourth tranche, -- economist said investment company the Concorde the Capital (Kiev) Nikita Mikhailichenko.

Among the demands the IMF expert emphasized the need to raise prices on gas and electricity to consumers, reducing the budget expenditure and real progress in addressing the fate of troubled Ukrprombank and the bank Nadra.

analyst at investment group Socrates (Kiev), Mikhail Salnikov, in turn, stressed that the provision of the fourth tranche of the IMF loan depends on the loyalty of the Fund, as well as the persistence of the Ukrainian government.

At the same time, in his opinion, there is a likelihood that the Ukrainian government, received the fourth tranche, will try to evade the directives of the IMF, since the bulk of the country is already available, and the IMF, in turn, refuses to allocate the remaining tranches. The expert also conceded that in view of violations of Ukraine's previous agreements and directives, as well as the fact that the peak of external payments is passed, the IMF will refuse and the fourth tranche.

According to the economist Troika Dialog Ukraine (Kiev) Irina Piontkovsky, the likelihood of a fourth tranche of the IMF loan depends not only on the thoroughness of the implementation of Ukraine's claims fund (eg, increase in gas tariffs, ensuring transparency of foreign exchange intervention, flexibility in course and pr .), but also on how compelling would justify failure to perform any of the conditions put forward.

In Asia today, the main regional indices show growth

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

A recession is already close to completion and global stock indices continue to rise, pushed up the expectations of maintaining a high level of liquidity in global financial system, as well as positive forecasts of corporate reporting for the third quarter. Despite the placement of treasuries, which were supposed to tie part of liquidity, prospects for sustaining a long period of time the base rate in the United States at the zero level contribute to a further weakening of the dollar, leading to rising commodity prices and stimulating demand for high-risk assets.

American indices have grown up to yesterday's trading: on the background of the completion of a recession in the global economy, investors are betting on corporate accountability for the third quarter, while ignoring the weakness of consumer and labor markets. Published yesterday, Beige Book The Fed (a report on the economic status of regions) has provided investors with new evidence of economic recovery, although it identified a number of serious problems for the American consumer. In general, the U.S. economy has entered a stage of stabilization: in some regions has resumed demand for real estate, industrial producers in most regions, with cautious optimism about the future, hoping for further improvement in macroeconomic conditions.

Drunken tribute

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

in Ukraine has become a tradition in hard times to seek money from manufacturers of excisable goods. In this election-year crisis in the black list were brewers.

Do not have time to thunder the July rate hike excise duty, as the government thought about another extraordinary surprise to producers. July 1, has been increased rates of excise duty for producers of vodka at 58% - up to 34 UAH. Vodochniki have documented the negative effects of this document.

Thus, the estimated profile association Ukrvodka , in July of this year compared with July of last production of distillery products declined by 54,8%, and the realization - at 57,2%. Specialists have also registered a decline in output in January-July 2009 are compared with the corresponding period last year to 3,5%. In the first half of distilled spirits produced 61 enterprises, in July - only 34, - complains Ukrvodke.

But still ahead. According to the Association vodochnikov, today in the budget committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine considered the bill on one more rate hike excise duty on ethyl alcohol. Now a further 68% - up to 50 UAH. per liter of 100% aqueous alcohol. The bill is in violation of regulatory standards - believe in Ukrvodke.

But not only the producers of green snake had to patch budget holes. Brewing industry, showing the negative dynamics of production since last summer, also had to cope with increasing rates of taxation.

July 1, was increased excise taxes on beer and almost twice - up to 0,6 UAH. /l. This measure previously proposed by the participants vodka market as an alternative to a sharp increase in tax on vodka. As repeatedly stated by the honorary president of the company OLYMPUS Paul Klimets, excise duty on beer is raised for the past three years, but the vodka is increased almost every year.

If the shares are Savings Bank will continue to rise, it will be used solely for profit-taking

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Past meeting yesterday cartel OPEC does not affect the situation on world markets, because it was all long been understood and expected. If the MICEX index has long been held up their highs in August, thanks to the dynamics of the Savings Bank, many other papers as yet have the potential for further growth: and Lukoil, and Gazprom and Surgutneftegaz, and the MMC: I believe that Sberbank calmed down and fall, while raw paper help compensate for this, but nne quickly. While for us is cheapening the dollar on the interbank market, which gives support to the commodity market and does not happen all at adjustment Russia market. , Released statements Sberbank (-0.8%) for the I half showed reduced net income by 10 times compared with the same period last year, while the official rate of overdue debts rose to a mark of 6.4%. Tomorrow, the CBR could once again cut interest rates, as banks have to somehow make loans to real sector of the economy.

On the U.S. market trading was closed by growth of leading indexes. Pretty good market perceived increase analysts from Goldman Sachs rated U.S. industrial companies with the level of neutral to the level of attractive, which contributed to the growth of quotations in this sector. As a result of trading on securities increased 2.6% multi-industrial group General Electric, and securities Illinois Tool Works increased by 5%.

At the 3% in trading securities rose the world's largest online auction EBay, after analysts at Sanford C. Bernstein raised recommendations on the at market to above market. Managed to consolidate its position on the trading floors and the second largest in the world, food manufacturers Kraft Foods, which is currently in talks to raise financing in the $ 8 billion to buy the British confectionary manufacturer Cadbury.

At 1,4% and 5,7%, respectively, increased paper network operators MasterCard credit cards, and Capital One Financial Corp. after raising them for recommendations from Citigroup. Amid increasing recommendations by 2,7% in the expensive and securities trading bank Morgan Stanley, a securities mortgage insurer Radian Group added 6.5%. At 1,9%, 3,8% and 9,7% respectively, increased the shares of financial insurer MBIA Inc., Ambac Financial Group Inc. and Genworth Financial Inc. Best of all securities traded pharmaceutical company Vivus - by 71% after the company's management announced the laboratory test data showing the effectiveness developed by the drug against obesity under the brand Qnexa. On the oil markets, the price of Brent crude oil on Wednesday for the first time this month exceeded the value of $ 70 per barrel. Price mark Light Sweet came very close to the rate of $ 72 per barrel. In Vienna, continuing the meeting of oil ministers of OPEC countries on strategies for the international oil cartel in the global oil market before the end of this year, and 99% of all market expectations are reduced to the fact that the meeting decide to maintain the current restrictive quota of oil production and bring them in line with her real oil. Additional factors that influenced the growth of oil futures has been increasing interest in Europe, and the depreciation of the dollar on the Forex market the euro, British pound and

Swiss franc.

Lately, market participants prefer a more risky compared to the dollar assets, and oil is now the most accessible and attractive one. Recall that since the beginning of the week oil futures have risen by about 5%, whereas last week they often traded below $ 70. Crude oil futures are now a good way to hedge investments against inflation against the background of the depreciation, while the U.S. currency issued in the oil futures becomes more profitable to buy outside the USA.

On Wednesday, the euro /dollar peaked this year at around 1.46, after which the dollar has grown somewhat, as oil prices fell from intraday maximum of $ 72.52. We can not say for sure that the dollar reached its bottom, so one can not say that energy prices have reached a local maximum.

Possible expansion of the U.S. economy could lead to an increase in the dollar in the long term, but some investors say that the economic recovery will contribute to the rapid growth in oil demand, which enables many refiners to sell excess energy reserves that had accumulated over the last year. But, nevertheless, even in the recovery of the world economy should be some time before demand really starts to grow. According to the forecasts of the Ministry of Energy, world oil consumption in 2009 will fall by 1.78 million barrels per day to a level of 83.76 million barrels per day. Many predict that the consumption of oil in the world will return to reached in 2007, the year highs just three or four years.

Today in Russia the market after a positive opening of the front-runner looks like oil and gas sector, because it transferred funds from the banking segment, and power should feel relatively well. From the statistics, select the data of the American Ministry of Fuel oil stocks (preliminary data from the API registered a decline of crude oil at 7.2 million barrels, which coincided with the expectations of market participants), and data to apply for unemployment benefits at 16:30 Moscow time. U.S. indexes set new highs, which could easily be adjusted, like gold, which, after penetration of technical resistance levels in a state of correction. If the shares of the Savings Bank and will continue to rise, it will be used solely for profit-taking, and reporting can be an occasion for a broader fix.
