In particular, DowJ and the Nasdaq Composite lost 2.6%, while the S P500 fell 2.9%. On the other hand, Asian area today showed a small increase of less than one percent. The main negative for the domestic steel market, as yesterday, the long-awaited correction in the oil market. As a result of yesterday's session, Brent had lost about three percent, the MICEX index dropped by 3.5% and the RTS, closed earlier, reduced by 1%. Today, crude oil continued to decline, though much slower, and with the closure of the Russian market has shown decline at 0.5% on brand Brent. Of the notable statistics, published today, are the only retail sales in the euro, which had worse predictive value, negative 3.3% while analysts were expecting decline to 2.7%. Although, it is worth noting that the market is, as expected, did not react to that statistics and have an hour began to grow. At the end of the day the RTS has lost 1% and the MICEX fell by less than 0.4%. Of the notable events in the second level of accountability it is desirable to note AtoVAZa. In general, we appreciate the statements on the basis of AvtoVAZ in 2008 as expected negative. Due to rising prices for steel and components, production costs rose faster than revenues. As a result, gross profit decreased by 39% to $ 699 million other negative developments in 2008 was the lack of control over the increase in administrative costs, resulting in an increase of 25.3%. Among the positive side, we note the increase in the average value of the car, which according to our estimates, was 11.9%, which increased revenue in the 5.2% while reducing sales by 6%. In addition, we draw attention to the fact that 10.7 billion rubles (about $ 430 million) loss on account of fixed assets revaluation, which is based on a model of discounted cash flows. According to our estimates, in 2009 at AvtoVAZ is likely to get a loss. Despite this, according to our estimates, the fair value of 1 ordinary share of OJSC AvtoVAZ is $ 0.47, growth potential - 13%. which corresponds to the recommendation of Hold. Fair value of 1 preferred share is $ 0.19, which implies upside potential of 97% and is consistent with the recommendations of buy. Authorize and appreciate the story;; Your grade will be the first!

Window to Europe

Friday, July 3, 2009 15:14

finished the share seems, the crisis helped to consolidate and strengthen the finished specialist mining and metallurgical complex of Ukraine on the world market. Ukrainian experts say the following: the domestic steel industry is a prerequisite to be competitive only in segments with low and medium value-added, because of the existence of the country's natural resources, as well as physically and morally obsolete iron assets. Ukrainian metallurgists confirm this thesis into practice. For January - May 2009 the share of products (billets and slabs) in Ukrainian exports of steel products rose to 55%, while during the same period of 2008 it was 46%. Accordingly, for the same period the proportion of flat-rolled products in the export of Ukrainian metal products declined from 31% to 25%, and long - from 23% to 20%. Where to look dismal data on volume of Ukrainian metallurgical exports. If the export products during the five months of 2009 decreased by only 12% (up to 5.1 million tons), the flat-rolled products - 40% (up to 2.3 million tonnes), as long - 39% (up to 2, 3 million tons). And it is really funny is the situation with export of steel products of the lowest conversion - iron (experts even believe he was not metproduktsiey and raw materials for its production). In January - April 2009, the export of iron recycling increased by 14.6% over the same period in 2008, up to 405.561 tons However, in May, the crisis has its, and as a result of five months of 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, exports of iron have shown negative dynamics. However, blaming the crisis exclusively in the commodity orientation of Ukraine's steel industry is not quite correct: in an extremely favorable for the steel industry during the country gradually to fall into the role of raw materials appendage metallorynka world. For five months, already mentioned in 2008 the proportion of semis in the structure of the Ukrainian metalloeksporta was 46%, while for the whole 2007, it would not exceed 43%, and in 2008 had risen to 48%. specialists still believe that it is not necessary to downplay the role of global economic негараздіÐ². A significant shift in export structure occurred in the second half of 2008, during a catastrophic reduction in demand for domestic metproduktsiyu. Then the Ukrainian metallurgists have been pleased by any orders, which helped to keep capacity utilization. As expected, demand for products of Ukrainian origin is not dropped as rapidly as in the finished product. And given the extremely limited domestic market, finished the capacity of the Ukrainian steel industry faces a crisis helps metalloproizvoditelyam with relatively small losses , - said Yury Ryzhkov, a senior financial analyst company Astrum Investment Management. For comparison, the analyst brings the results of the steel industry of the States, where the steel industry is aimed at vysokoperedelnoe production. It is through semi-finished - said Rizhkov - the decline in domestic steel production for the five months of 2009 was lower (-39%) than in the larger countries - producers of the metal as the United States (-53%), Japan (-42 %) and Germany (-44%). However, analysts do not risk to make predictions about what will happen in the world market, when the crisis ends and the demand for vysokoperedelnuyu metproduktsiyu increase. Then Ukraine invested in rolling power of a few pennies, even before it began (in the crisis almost freezing in the high re-attachment), will generally form the export of the full slab, billet and pig iron ... finished market Meanwhile, metallurgists and analysts are happy that the Ukrainian steel industry has been able to stabilize production volumes of metal and even to enter new markets. For January - May 2009 delivery of Ukrainian steel products in Asia grew by 58% (up to 1.517 million tonnes), Africa - 49% (up to 737 tons), the Middle East - 35% (up to 1.594 million tonnes ). However, EU exports of semi-fallen by 53% (up to 705 tons), while in the CIS - 77% (up to 600 tons), - said Sergey Gajda, an analyst company, Dragon Capital. The new key buyers of Ukrainian steel products in 2009 were China, Lebanon and Egypt. In the face of shortages of working capital from consumers question the quality, which in Ukrainian products is slightly lower than the average of the competitors, it becomes less relevant. Due to the low price Ukraine has been able to enter new markets, - comments on competitive advantage of Ukrainian steel, Alexander Makarov, the acting Head of investment consulting department of JSC Altana Capital.

It is unlikely that in the absence of U.S. investors, the markets will make any serious movement

Friday, July 3, 2009 12:15

The Russian stock market on Thursday did not confirm the positive signal that we saw on the previous day, when the MICEX index of closing auction on July 1 Breaks down trend. As a result of yesterday's closed session, the indicator is declining at 3.5% at around 977 points. RTS sminusoval less - 1.79%. Of the blue chips in the black is not closed, no paper, but worse than others looked at all the recent good growing Gazprom (-5%). How do we market was influenced by a slump in oil prices, which took place on the raw areas with even the environment, you can not say confidently. likely, and a correction in oil, and the decline of the stock sites - simply the result of local traffic, which occurs in the second half of this week in global financial markets. Anyway, to explain yesterday's decline in our stock of foreign influence the dynamics of the indices would be more logical - the indicators of foreign sites are not dropped much lower. This is evident in the more detailed analysis of yesterday's auction - the oil and gas sector was not made for the general background. Even shares of AvtoVAZ, which yesterday, in the early trades ogoroshil all losses over the last year of $ 25 billion. (Ironically it is this amount Rostehnologii previously identified as the grant of a capital contribution), not shown vast reduction. The only sector that was yesterday against the general trend was staleiteyny. Shares NLMK gaining more than 5%, while taking into account the strong growth earlier in the week for the last 4 days they have added more than 16%, and this is the best indicator of liquidity of securities. Papers CMI and Severstal closed in the zeros. To contribute to this dynamic could increase as the recommendations of the analytical units of several investdomov, so the fact that China's Baosteel said yesterday about the possibility of rising prices for steel orders for August at $ 20-30 per tonne. However, the same paper NLMK closed yesterday in the vicinity of maxima of the first half of June, and further growth there in person with us in doubt. A similar situation in the securities of CMI, a little less risky from a technical point of view looks SeverStal, but here one can hardly count on the full growth without growth in the market as a whole. And it would be unlikely until we see a significant signal in the other segments of financial markets, mainly in the currency, which continues to sleep - a surge of activity that occurred in the first half of this week, it appears that came to nothing. U.S. stock indexes fell as a result of trades on Thursday on 2,6-2,9%, the DJIA was the maximum reduction of 20 April. The reason for this were the negative data on the labor market, which managed to affect the dynamics of our auction night. The number of jobs in the U.S. economy in the past month fell by 467 thousand, while experts predicted less than a significant reduction - to 367 thousand Thus, unemployment rose to 9.5%, which is the highest level since August 1983, compared from 9.4% a month earlier. Quotes of shares of aluminum giant Alcoa fell on the day at 4.7%. The company next week will publish financial results for the second quarter reporting season starting. Today, the American sites are closed due to the carry output from Saturday on the occasion of Independence Day. Asia today traded a surprisingly neutral - but is already closed Nikkei225 decrease by 0,6% in the black now traded Chinese and Indian markets. Also on the positive territory closed Korean index. Growing now, and index futures on the S P500 (0,4%). Thus, the Russian market today, does not appear to continue yesterday's downward momentum, at least, we expect a fairly quiet day in the markets. American sites, as has been said, are closed today in Europe will be published a series of data between 12:00 and 13:00 AM EDT, but unlikely in the absence of U.S. investors, the markets will make any serious movement. Index MICEX opened a small advantage, but the day is likely to hold in an already emerging between 970-1000 points. Authorize and appreciate the story;; 1 users rated material 5. Analyst Ratings

In the past week, the index Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.8%, the index of a broad market for the SP 500 fell 2.4%, and high-tech Nasdaq Composite declined by 2.3%. The report on the labor market for the month of June in the U.S. went fairly bleak. Unemployment was 9.5%, the number of employees decreased by 467 thousand, expected 360-380. Expected that unemployment will rise more dramatically, but in the U.S. has been increased to 358 thousand number of people outside the labor force, so that only 9.5%. But this is not the limit, because the problem is increasing. The new minimum issued on weekly working hours, which was only 33.0 hours, the lowest value since the beginning of the counting rate in 1964. Worse was the situation with the average wage in March it had not increased, but annual growth slowed to 2.7%. In principle, all this signals the so-called hidden unemployment, which reduces the number of working hours, but not dismissed.
