Russia"s bid opened growth on a broad front of the securities - the reaction of the players on the positive momentum in the U.S. markets. On the eve of the U.S. stock indicators rose against the backdrop of1000favorable macroeconomic statistics and a good corporate financial reporting. True, the Asian stock exchanges kept sufficiently responded to the positive. But in Russia and in Europe, optimism prevailed.

continues strong interest in the shares of the telecommunications sector. Do not lag behind the "Telecom and paper oil and gas companies, which consolidated their leading positions in securities of Rosneft and Gazprom, supported by high oil prices.

Weaker others, perhaps, the banking sector stocks look particularly Sberbank, traded or near the levels close on Monday, whose attempts to go above-zero in the zone have not been notable success.

In the afternoon, the pace of growth slowed stock indicators, trading volumes have begun to decline - are available for purchase ideas have been exhausted, the market froze in anticipation. However, to expect major changes hardly worth - the day was not rich in macroeconomic statistics. However, participants are unlikely to be confined to one-day rise. The decisive factor will be the dynamics of U.S. trading floors, where there may be many interesting events take place under the influence of the economic performances of the Presidential Adviser Paul Volcker, who will introduce in the Senate Banking Committee to limit the activities of banks in the financial market.

What will the future bring?

On Tuesday, Russia"s stock market is growing, which is quite logical, given the rise in market prices of oil (Brent $ 73,9 /bbl; 1,1%) and a strong closing trades in the U.S. yesterday. The MICEX index rose by 15 o"clock mark to 1,433 points (1.2%). The main players today are paying attention to the papers on the oil and telecommunications sectors.

Thus, today, Russia and European indexes move up, led by the expectation of the continuation of the growing trend in the U.S. stock market (futures SP 0,35%). Against this background, we see the restoration of interest in buying risky assets, not only on the stock market, but also on Raw contracts. Prices of gold ($ 1112/unts) and industrial metals today can look at the shares of mining companies more positively.

I do not want to write in this review, why today Rosneft shares (3.2%) and telecom traded better than their counterparts on the market. It is better to think that our market is waiting until the end of the trading session and in the coming days. I think that we really can expect to maintain positive momentum on the stock exchanges this evening, as before, we saw a very strong closing of the trading session in the United States.

However, there are a few things that alerted us to continue their medium-term growth. First, we do not see really strong weakening of the dollar, so you can safely wait for oil from a mark of $ 80/barr. And the ruble near 29 rubles. Secondly, the U.S. stock indexes finished in January near the minimum monthly highs, indicating a possible continued pressure on them in February. And, finally, the market has not brought to its logical conclusion subject to control risks and the size of the largest banks. It is very possible that today"s speech White House adviser, former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker on the consensus measures to restrict the activities of banks will not find a positive response on Wall Street.

Therefore, we recommend short-term trading in growth, but not perederzhivat long positions and often record profits.

Today, trading on the Russian sites have begun raising the prices of most liquid stocks. Positive attitude to the discovery led to rising oil prices and positive dynamics of U.S. indices yesterday. By 14:00 the MICEX index rose by 1.11% and the RTS index gained weight 1,57%.

largest increase again show the action of the telecommunications sector. Preference and ordinary shares "Sibirtelecom" grow respectively by 9% and 7% respectively. Restore lost ground stocks of oil and gas and metallurgical sectors. Top gainers were shares of Rosneft and Norilsk Nickel, which are becoming more expensive on 3,5% and 1,95% respectively.

In general, prevailing today, the news background rather quiet. Also before the end of the day is not expected to publish bathrooms data in the U.S., which could influence the course of bidding. For this reason, market participants are sensitive to the dynamics of oil quotes and the opening of futures trading in the States. From this side of Russia"s blue chips in the morning, found considerable support. Interest in the "oil industry" may be exacerbated if the WTI crude oil penetrates the resistance level of $ 75.5 per barrel.

MICEX index was higher with the opening of the 1,420 points resistance level. Saving current position may contribute to the continued growth to a mark of 1475 points.
